Has the model earned this number?

It puts Bayern München at 50% 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.

How the model saw it, minute by minute

Viking0%Draw6%Bayern München94%

Rebuilt after the match from the model's pre-match expected goals, frozen in the log before kick-off, plus the score and cards as they stood at each minute — never anything later. A ball marks each of the 6 goals, and a card each of the 1 sending-off. The same replay scores the in-play model on the track record.

Viking3 from 0.64 xGmore than the chances were worth
Bayern München3 from 3.57 xGless than the chances were worth

Expected goals totals what the openings were worth, so the gap between it and the score is the finishing — and the luck. Under half a goal either way is called level: xG is an estimate and a smaller gap than that is inside its own error.

Expected against actual

Pre-match the model expected 1.44 goals for Viking and 2.14 for Bayern München; the game produced 3 and 3.

A gap that size between expected and actual goals is normal in a single match — it is the reason we publish probabilities rather than predictions, and why the record below is measured over hundreds of games rather than one.

Goals

Scorers, in order: Gianni Stensness 2' (Viking), Peter Christiansen 38' (Viking), Harry Kane 54' (Bayern München), Harry Kane 60' (Bayern München), Luis Díaz 71' (Bayern München), Herman Haugen 90' (Viking).

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.

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.

Why the model favours this side

The model gives Bayern München the highest probability at 50%, based on each side's rolling attack and defence ratings estimated from recent match data. The model projects 1.44 expected goals for Viking against 2.14 for Bayern München. Viking's attack/defence rating is 1.09/0.87 versus the league average (1.00 = average), compared with 1.76/0.68 for Bayern München.
