From our 2. Bundesliga 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

Dynamo Dresden carry a model rating of 6.45 against 6.59 for 1. FC Magdeburg. 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.

The model expects goals

Under the hood the model expects 1.64 goals for Dynamo Dresden and 1.77 for 1. FC Magdeburg. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Dynamo Dresden rate 0.69 in attack and 1.53 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; 1. FC Magdeburg rate 0.81 and 1.38.

The rest of the season

Across the rest of the season our simulation gives Dynamo Dresden a 0.3% chance of the title and 1. FC Magdeburg 5.2%, from 10,000 simulated seasons.

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.

Statistical estimate, not betting advice This prediction is generated from a statistical model for entertainment and informational purposes only. It does not guarantee any outcome and should not be used as the basis for placing a bet.

Each cell counts the league goals that went in during that 15-minute window.
