Two sides the ratings cannot separate
Eintracht Frankfurt carry a model rating of 6.82 against 6.69 for 1. FC Köln. 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 2.43 goals for Eintracht Frankfurt and 1.61 for 1. FC Köln. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
Eintracht Frankfurt rate 1.13 in attack and 1.22 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; 1. FC Köln rate 0.85 and 1.17.
Where the model differs from the table
The table and the model disagree here: the standings favour 1. FC Köln, 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: 1,819 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.
Team comparison
Bars show each side's share of the two-team total, based on the model's attack/defence ratings and expected goals for this fixture.
Why the model favours this side
The model gives Eintracht Frankfurt the highest probability at 52%, based on each side's rolling attack and defence ratings estimated from recent match data. The model projects 2.43 expected goals for Eintracht Frankfurt against 1.61 for 1. FC Köln. Eintracht Frankfurt's attack/defence rating is 1.13/1.22 versus the league average (1.00 = average), compared with 0.85/1.17 for 1. FC Köln.

All Bundesliga matches this season: Eintracht Frankfurt 5, 1. FC Köln 5.
Eintracht Frankfurt score most often in the 0–15 minute window (5 goals); 1. FC Köln have let in 0 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.
