Two sides the ratings cannot separate

Ulsan Hyundai FC carry a model rating of 6.5 against 6.38 for Bucheon FC 1995. 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.

What the model expects

Under the hood the model expects 1.70 goals for Ulsan Hyundai FC and 1.21 for Bucheon FC 1995. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Ulsan Hyundai FC rate 0.75 in attack and 1.52 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Bucheon FC 1995 rate 0.63 and 1.61.

How this was produced

Publicly tracked record so far: 1,381 correct results out of 2,964 settled predictions (47%), with 285 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.
