How the prediction is made
For each of the 203 remaining matches, a Poisson model estimates the expected goals of both teams: the home side’s home strength against the visitors’ away strength from the current season. So that a few games are not overrated, all teams start from a baseline at the league average and only move away from it with each game; early in the season this baseline counts more. Points per game also make up half of the rating, because goals alone underrate narrow wins and efficiency. In each run every team’s strength also varies slightly (form, injuries, uncertainty of the estimate). Then all remaining matches are simulated and the final table is sorted by points, goal difference and goals scored. This happens 10,000 times with a fixed seed; the percentages are the shares of these runs.
- Play-off and play-out matches are not simulated; the column shows how often a team reaches the corresponding league position.
- Relegation play-offs are not simulated; the column shows the chance of finishing in the play-off place.
- Point deductions, licence withdrawals and rulings off the pitch are not modelled.
