Written before kick-off and left as it stood — the reading below is the model's pre-match case, not a view formed after the result.

Two sides the ratings cannot separate

Tottenham carry a model rating of 6.92 against 6.85 for Everton. 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.

The model expects a tight, low-scoring game

Under the hood the model expects 1.21 goals for Tottenham and 0.81 for Everton. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Tottenham rate 0.82 in attack and 0.75 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Everton rate 0.90 and 0.91.

Where the model differs from the table

The table and the model disagree here: the standings favour Everton, 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.

How this was produced

Publicly tracked record so far: 1151 correct results out of 2437 settled predictions (47%), with 230 exact scorelines (9%). That log is updated automatically after every match and is never edited.

Statistical estimate, not betting advice This prediction is generated from a statistical model for entertainment and informational purposes only. It does not guarantee any outcome and should not be used as the basis for placing a bet.

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 Tottenham the highest probability at 40%, based on each side's rolling attack and defence ratings estimated from recent match data. The model projects 1.21 expected goals for Tottenham against 0.81 for Everton. Tottenham's attack/defence rating is 0.82/0.75 versus the league average (1.00 = average), compared with 0.9/0.91 for Everton.
