Where the two sides stand. Full tables

Two sides the ratings cannot separate

San Lorenzo carry a model rating of 6.65 against 6.59 for Talleres Cordoba. The scale is anchored so that an average side in one of Europe's big five leagues sits at 6.85, and it is adjusted for the strength of each team's league, so the two numbers are comparable even across borders.

A gap that small is inside the noise of the rating itself — treat the two as level.

Recent form (most recent last): San Lorenzo W-L-L-W-D; Talleres Cordoba L-L-W-L-L.

What the model expects

Under the hood the model expects 1.84 goals for San Lorenzo and 1.24 for Talleres Cordoba. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

San Lorenzo rate 0.64 in attack and 1.01 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Talleres Cordoba rate 0.88 and 1.52.

That points to 60% for over two and a half goals and 60% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 1-1 (11%), 2-1 (10%), 1-0 (8%).

Where the model differs from the table

The table and the model disagree here: the standings favour Talleres Cordoba, while our numbers lean the other way. The model weights recent expected goals rather than results already banked, so it moves before the table does.

Across the rest of the season our simulation gives San Lorenzo a 0.2% chance of the title and Talleres Cordoba 4.3%, from 10000 simulated seasons.
