QPR

No player in Championship's leading scorers — 10 league goals as a side.

Top 3 by league goals this season. Player availability is not part of the model — injuries and suspensions are a planned improvement.

The two sides

West Ham carry a model rating of 6.78 against 6.51 for QPR. 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 1.92 goals for West Ham and 0.88 for QPR. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

West Ham rate 0.93 in attack and 1.08 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; QPR rate 0.69 and 1.37.

The rest of the season

Across the rest of the season our simulation gives West Ham a 15.4% chance of the title and QPR 1.6%, from 10000 simulated seasons.

How this was produced

Publicly tracked record so far: 1320 correct results out of 2823 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.
