Elo grid
The round's matches, from the biggest Elo gap to the most even, in boxes. Pick the condition: green = it happened, red = it did not, grey = not played yet.
The round
Every match of the round in the leagues we follow, ordered by the Elo gap before the round (home rating + home advantage − away rating): the first box holds the most lopsided matches, the last one the most even. One to two hours before the first match the order is frozen (❄) and no longer changes. Pick a condition: green = it happened, red = it did not, grey = not played yet. Under every box: how often it came out all green (every match in the box) this season and in past seasons, and how often it had at least one red — only rounds with the box fully played.
❄ Frozen — the order no longer changes.
P1, P2… = the match's place in the round's order: P1 has the biggest Elo gap. “History” = how often the chosen condition happened in the same place in the rounds before — the match in that place changes from round to round; matches not played yet are not counted. A share from few matches can still move a lot.

Chosen condition: The Elo favourite wins
Positions picked from the earlier rounds (by the lower end of the 95% interval): P1, P2, P4, P6, P10, P12
For the chosen condition, the best 3, 6, 9 or 12 positions in the round, by their history in the rounds before (ranked cautiously: a “5 of 5” weighs less than “40 of 50”). Below, the record of the same rule applied round by round, against all positions: it shows whether the pick helped or not.

Which box comes up most often
For the chosen condition: how often it happened in each box (1 = the most lopsided), added up over every round with results. Next to the percentage: out of how many matches, and the 95% interval; with few rounds, gaps between boxes can be pure chance.
| Box | It happened | Share | 95% interval | Rounds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Box 1 · highest share | 51 of 63 | 81% | 70–89% | 14 |
| Box 2 | 30 of 47 | 64% | 50–76% | 9 |
| Box 3 | 26 of 45 | 58% | 43–71% | 8 |
| Box 4 | 18 of 45 | 40% | 27–55% | 8 |
| Box 5 | 21 of 44 | 48% | 34–62% | 8 |
| Box 6 | 21 of 44 | 48% | 34–62% | 8 |
| Box 7 | 18 of 39 | 46% | 32–61% | 7 |
| Box 8 | 10 of 33 | 30% | 17–47% | 7 |
We checked whether a European match played up to 3 days earlier changes anything: the Elo favourite won 57% of the matches after one (n = 273), against 58% after a week without a match (n = 785); the gap against what Elo expected: 0.00 (95% interval −0.05 … +0.05), in the 2022-23, 2023-24, 2024-25 seasons. No visible effect ⇒ the grid is not adjusted for cup matches.
The best position, for every condition
For every condition: the box (position in the grid) that came up most often, at every box size — only boxes with at least 20 played matches. The last column is the fair check of the combinations of 3, 6, 9 and 12 matches (the best positions picked ONLY from the earlier rounds), against all positions of those rounds: ✓ = above average even in the cautious reading, ~ = above average but still within noise, ✗ = below average. Checking so many positions, some look good by chance: only what also passes the check counts.
