Each side. Blackburn 9 of 12 (5 of 6 at home), Stoke City 8 of 12 (4 of 6 away). Steadied toward the league rate, so a few odd games can't swing it: 60% and 58%.

Last season. Still blended in until game 40: 50% and 51%.

Mix. 40% home side, 40% away side, 20% league: 51%.

Head to head. 6 meetings in 3 years, 33% over 2.5 goals. A small 5% nudge: 50%.

Goal model. Expected goals 1.24 (Blackburn) v 0.99 (Stoke City) give 38%; 30% weight: 46%.

Calibration. Low ratings in this range have run a little pessimistic in testing, so they are lifted: 48%.

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+.
