The two sides

Würzburger Kickers carry a model rating of 6.07 against 6.24 for Hoffenheim II. 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 1.50 goals for Würzburger Kickers and 1.57 for Hoffenheim II. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Würzburger Kickers rate 0.46 in attack and 2.21 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Hoffenheim II rate 0.59 and 2.00.

The rest of the season

Across the rest of the season our simulation gives Würzburger Kickers a 0% chance of the title and Hoffenheim II 1.6%, from 10,000 simulated seasons.

How this was produced

Publicly tracked record so far: 2,309 correct results out of 4,819 settled predictions (48%), with 476 exact scorelines (10%). That log is updated automatically after every match and is never edited.

Full method: how the model works.

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.
