Each side. Boca Juniors 12 of 30 (3 of 15 at home), River Plate 12 of 33 (4 of 14 away). Steadied toward the league rate, so a few odd games can't swing it: 38% and 36%.

Last season. Still blended in until game 40: 37% and 36%.

Mix. 40% home side, 40% away side, 20% league: 36%.

Head to head. 4 meetings in 3 years, 25% over 2.5 goals. A small 5% nudge: 36%.

Goal model. Expected goals 1.24 (Boca Juniors) v 0.83 (River Plate) give 34%; 30% weight: 35%.

Calibration. Low ratings in this range have run a little pessimistic in testing, so they are lifted: 38%.

Worked from the same inputs as the rating. The full model is in the methodology.

What our percentages mean

They are calibrated chances: a 60% call should land about six times in ten and miss about four. Ratings freeze before kick-off and are graded afterwards. The model reads goals, not team news, so it knows nothing about injuries, rotation or weather. Stats, not advice · 18+.
