From our 1. Lig 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.

The two sides

Esenler Erokspor carry a model rating of 6.43 against 6.58 for Mardin 1969. 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.

The model expects a tight, low-scoring game

Under the hood the model expects 0.92 goals for Esenler Erokspor and 0.87 for Mardin 1969. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Esenler Erokspor rate 0.55 in attack and 1.31 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Mardin 1969 rate 0.55 and 1.03.

Where the model differs from the table

The table and the model disagree here: the standings favour Mardin 1969, 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.

Across the rest of the season our simulation gives Esenler Erokspor a 0.4% chance of the title and Mardin 1969 8.9%, 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.

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.
