The two sides

Stockport County carry a model rating of 6.41 against 6.12 for Peterborough. 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.

The model expects goals

Under the hood the model expects 2.23 goals for Stockport County and 1.02 for Peterborough. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Stockport County rate 0.71 in attack and 1.72 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Peterborough rate 0.48 and 2.06.

The rest of the season

Across the rest of the season our simulation gives Stockport County a 5.8% chance of the title and Peterborough 0%, from 10000 simulated seasons.

How this was produced

Publicly tracked record so far: 1314 correct results out of 2813 settled predictions (47%), with 270 exact scorelines (10%). That log is updated automatically after every match and is never edited.

Full method: how the model works.

From the first whistle this page keeps going: the win probabilities at the top are recalculated as the match plays out, reading the score, the clock and any sendings-off. The same model, asked how many goals are left rather than how many there will be.
