Has the model earned this number?

It puts Huddersfield at 54% here. Across 3,801 settled matches (as of 16 October 2026), 907 forecasts have landed in the 50–65% band; those outcomes actually happened 55.6% of the time, against an average forecast of 55.5%. In this range the two line up, so the figure above can be read literally.

Every settled prediction on this site is scored against an uninformed baseline, band by band, and published whether or not it flatters the model — see the full record.

From our League One 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.

Top 3 by league goals this season. Player availability is not part of the model — injuries and suspensions are a planned improvement.

The two sides

Huddersfield carry a model rating of 6.39 against 6.17 for Peterborough. 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.

What the model expects

Under the hood the model expects 1.96 goals for Huddersfield and 1.03 for Peterborough. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Huddersfield rate 0.66 in attack and 1.66 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Peterborough rate 0.50 and 1.95.

The rest of the season

Across the rest of the season our simulation gives Huddersfield a 9.7% chance of the title and Peterborough 0%, 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.

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.

The model projects 1.96 expected goals for Huddersfield against 1.03 for Peterborough. Huddersfield's attack/defence rating is 0.66/1.66 versus the league average (1.00 = average), compared with 0.5/1.95 for Peterborough.

Goals scored and conceded, by minute

All League One matches this season: Huddersfield 9, Peterborough 9.

Huddersfield scored 321335
Peterborough conceded 131432

Huddersfield score most often in the 76–90 minute window (5 goals); Peterborough have let in 2 there.

Peterborough scored 102202
Huddersfield conceded 111121

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.

Each side's next matches on our board after this one. 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.
