Two sides the ratings cannot separate
Al Shahaniya carry a model rating of 6.31 against 6.44 for Al-Arabi 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 1.33 goals for Al Shahaniya and 1.64 for Al-Arabi SC. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
Al Shahaniya rate 0.55 in attack and 1.64 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Al-Arabi SC rate 0.58 and 1.35.
How this was produced
Publicly tracked record so far: 1,819 correct results out of 3,801 settled predictions (48%), with 383 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.

Goals scored and conceded, by minute
All Stars League matches this season: Al Shahaniya 5, Al-Arabi SC 5.
Al Shahaniya score most often in the 46–60 minute window (4 goals); Al-Arabi SC have let in 1 there.
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. Source: API-Football season statistics, refreshed after each league match; own goals are not always counted on the same side as in the table, so a row can be a goal off it. Context, not a prediction.

The colour is how strong the opponent is, from easier to harder as on the scale above: its model rating ranked among the teams of that competition, in fifths, so bright red is the top fifth whoever is playing it. The win figure is this side's own chance in that match, which is where venue and its own level come in. A match already on our board links to its own prediction; the rest follow as their week comes up.
