From our 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.

The two sides

Sturm Graz carry a model rating of 6.66 against 6.3 for Grazer AK. 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 1.89 goals for Sturm Graz and 0.75 for Grazer AK. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Sturm Graz rate 0.72 in attack and 1.08 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Grazer AK rate 0.54 and 1.62.

The rest of the season

Across the rest of the season our simulation gives Sturm Graz a 4.3% chance of the title and Grazer AK 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.
