The result model puts Albacete at 38%, the draw at 29% and Sabadell at 34%, from expected goals of 1.23 and 1.15.
The league sets the starting point. Segunda has produced over 2.5 goals in 50% of its matches, and that is where a team with no record of its own would sit.
Each side's own record. Albacete have 6 in 10 this season (3 of 4 at home), Sabadell 3 in 10 (1 of 6 away). Those records are pulled toward the league rate with the weight of about 24 matches — enough that two or three unusual games cannot swing a rating — giving 53% and 44%.
Last season still counts, briefly. With 10 and 10 games played this season, last season's rates are still blended in and fade out entirely by game 40 — the point at which our testing showed they stop adding accuracy. A single season is part luck, so each club's record is first pulled toward the league average by 34 games' weight. That moves the two figures to 51% and 43%.
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 47%.
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 42%, from expected goals of 1.23 for Albacete and 1.15 for Sabadell. Folding in 30% of that view gives 46%.
Calibration. Tested against 97,729 past matches, our ratings below 55% have run consistently too pessimistic — a figure in the high 30s, for instance, has come in about four points higher. So ratings in that range are lifted part-way back, giving 47%.
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.
Our numbers give this match a 67% chance of at least one goal before half-time and 32% of two or more. The Segunda rates, last season and this season combined, are 68% and 34% (this season so far: 70% with a first-half goal, from 111 games). After the break: 75% for a goal and 46% for two or more (league 75% and 45%). Albacete's last 50 games had a first-half goal 70% of the time and a second-half goal 82%; Sabadell's last 50, 58% and 64%. A goal in both halves: 51% (league 52%). Highest-scoring half: second 45%, first 30%, level 25% — close to the league's usual split, because team form says little about which half is busier. Team form says less about a single half than about a full match, so these numbers stay close to the league's.
Every match ranked the same way: first half goals today · second half goals today · goal in both halves today · tomorrow.
