Home and away form

Sydney FC W at home: 1.50 scored, 2.33 conceded a game (last 6). Melbourne City W away: 1.67 scored, 0.67 conceded (last 6).

Not in these numbers yet

Line-ups, injuries and suspensions, and rest days are being measured in a test version of our model; they do not change these numbers. Weather and the referee are shown on the match page but not used.

Nothing here is written by hand. The model works from every result, as the first step says; the base rates, the head to head and the home and away form are context beside it, not inputs.
