Model estimate

i

The model's chances for a home win, a draw and an away win. ❄ = the estimate was frozen within the last hour before kick-off (the model runs hourly) and no longer changes; “provisional” = it can still change until it is frozen. How good the model is can be seen on the calibration page.

No estimate yet: the model looks 14 days ahead, and a team needs 8 matches in the model window.

In three sentences

i

Three sentences, each from a figure in our database: what happened (streaks, form or head-to-head), why it matters today (rest, congestion, table, derby) and what the model estimates. Nothing hand-written, nothing guessed.

As of today, the home side are winless in their last 5 matches. The away side are 2 points above the bottom three with 31 matches left. The model has no estimate for this match yet.

Form, streaks, position and points are today's (25 Oct 2026), not the ones at kick-off: before this match the home side still have 12 league matches to play, the away side 12.

Home side at home · visitors away n = 3 · 3

i

The home side only in its home matches, the visitors only in their away matches, this season: goals scored and conceded, how often both teams scored, how often there were 3+ goals, how often they kept a clean sheet and how often they failed to score. Under each percentage: out of how many matches, and the league average on the same matches. It describes what happened, not what comes next.

Six things that happened in each team's last 20 league matches before this one, next to how often they happened across the whole league in the year before the match. The further a point is from the centre, the more often it happened. It is not a rating and does not say who wins.

Points (of 15): 10 → 4 vs 8 → 4
