Two sides the ratings cannot separate
Universitario carry a model rating of 6.47 against 6.38 for Sport Boys. 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 1.64 goals for Universitario and 0.98 for Sport Boys. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
Universitario rate 0.72 in attack and 1.54 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Sport Boys rate 0.53 and 1.40.
The rest of the season
Across the rest of the season our simulation gives Universitario a 1% chance of the title and Sport Boys 0%, from 10,000 simulated seasons.
How this was produced
Publicly tracked record so far: 1,776 correct results out of 3,725 settled predictions (48%), with 376 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.
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

Universitario's attack/defence rating is 0.72/1.54 versus the league average (1.00 = average), compared with 0.53/1.4 for Sport Boys.

Season stats
Universitario at home · Sport Boys away
League matches only, Primera División, this season. Rates are per game, since the two sides have not always played the same number; the tinted figure is the better one, where better is not a matter of taste. Source: API-Football season statistics, refreshed after each league match.
Goals scored and conceded, by minute
All Primera División matches this season: Universitario 28, Sport Boys 28.
Sport Boys score most often in the 46–60 minute window (12 goals); Universitario have let in 6 there.
Each cell counts the league goals that went in during that 15-minute window. Each side's goals sit above the goals its opponent has let in over the same minutes; the darker the cell, the more goals in that window. Stoppage time counts in the last window of its half. Source: API-Football season statistics, refreshed after each league match; own goals are not always counted on the same side as in the table, so a row can be a goal off it. Context, not a prediction.

Each side's next matches on our board after this one. 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.
