The result model puts Platense at 25%, the draw at 26% and Coquimbo Unido at 49%, from expected goals of 1.01 and 1.52.

How we got this number

The league sets the starting point. Copa Libertadores has produced over 2.5 goals in 42% of its matches, and that is where a team with no record of its own would sit.

Each side's own record. Platense have 6 in 20 this season (3 of 10 at home), Coquimbo Unido 9 in 17 (6 of 9 away). Those records are pulled toward the league rate with the weight of about 32 matches — enough that two or three unusual games cannot swing a rating — giving 36% and 49%.

The mix. Weighted 40% home side, 40% away side and 20% league — the split that beat every alternative across 30,582 matches of testing — that gives 43%.

Goal expectation. Separately a Poisson model built from attack and defence strength — using real expected-goals data where the league has it — puts this match at 46%, from expected goals of 1.01 for Platense and 1.52 for Coquimbo Unido. Folding in 30% of that view gives 44%.

This breakdown is generated from the same inputs the rating uses, so it cannot describe a calculation we did not perform. The full model is set out in the methodology.
