From our Persian Gulf Pro League season simulation: the rest of the season played out 10,000 times by the same model as the prediction above. Each figure is that side's chance once this match ends in a win, a draw or a defeat for it, with every other match still left to the model. Positions in the table, not competition rules: what a place is worth differs from league to league.

Two sides the ratings cannot separate

ZOB Ahan carry a model rating of 6.25 against 6.34 for Chadormalu SC. 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 1.34 goals for ZOB Ahan and 1.20 for Chadormalu SC. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

ZOB Ahan rate 0.48 in attack and 1.61 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Chadormalu SC rate 0.62 and 1.71.

Where the model differs from the table

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