From our Primera A season simulation: the rest of the season played out 10,000 times by the same model as the prediction above. Each figure is that side's chance once this match ends in a win, a draw or a defeat for it, with every other match still left to the model. Positions in the table, not competition rules: what a place is worth differs from league to league.

The two sides

Santa Fe carry a model rating of 6.63 against 6.32 for Deportivo Pasto. 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.

What the model expects

Under the hood the model expects 1.81 goals for Santa Fe and 0.68 for Deportivo Pasto. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Santa Fe rate 0.78 in attack and 1.22 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Deportivo Pasto rate 0.55 and 1.60.

The rest of the season

Across the rest of the season our simulation gives Santa Fe a 2.6% chance of the title and Deportivo Pasto 0%, from 10,000 simulated seasons.

How this was produced

Publicly tracked record so far: 2,402 correct results out of 4,996 settled predictions (48%), with 499 exact scorelines (10%). That log is updated automatically after every match and is never edited.

Full method: how the model works.

Team comparison

Bars show each side's share of the two-team total, based on the model's attack/defence ratings and expected goals for this fixture.

Why the model favours this side

The model gives Santa Fe the highest probability at 59%, based on each side's rolling attack and defence ratings estimated from recent match data. The model projects 1.81 expected goals for Santa Fe against 0.68 for Deportivo Pasto. Santa Fe's attack/defence rating is 0.78/1.22 versus the league average (1.00 = average), compared with 0.55/1.6 for Deportivo Pasto.

How the model reaches 59% for Santa Fe to win

Start from two average sides on neutral ground: 35% for Santa Fe to win. Then home advantage adds 9 points, the level of the two sides takes away 1 point, Santa Fe's ratings add 8 points and Deportivo Pasto's ratings add 8 points, which lands on the published 59%.

The colour is how strong the opponent is, from easier to harder as on the scale above: its model rating ranked among the teams of that competition, in fifths, so bright red is the top fifth whoever is playing it. The win figure is this side's own chance in that match, which is where venue and its own level come in. A match already on our board links to its own prediction; the rest follow as their week comes up.
