Last season. Still blended in until game 40: 52% and 51%.

Mix. 40% home side, 40% away side, 20% league: 52%.

Goal model. Expected goals 2.03 (Sheffield Wednesday) v 0.68 (Blackpool) give 51%; 30% weight: 51%.

Calibration. Low ratings in this range have run a little pessimistic in testing, so they are lifted: 52%.

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+.
