How we got to this number6 steps · in order

Our model

Rates each side's attack and defence from the goals and expected goals of 751 Indian Super League matches up to 18 Oct 2026, weighting recent results more and allowing for home advantage.

Base rates

Context, not used by the model: Indian Super League matches have gone over 2.5 in 51.7% of games recently, across 400 played.

Head to head

Context, not used by the model: 6 previous meetings since 2020 in every competition we cover, 3.33 goals a meeting; 4 of 6 went over 2.5.

Home and away form

Minerva Punjab at home: 1.50 scored, 0.83 conceded a game (last 6). Mumbai City away: 1.33 scored, 0.83 conceded (last 6).

What the model expects

1.17 goals for Minerva Punjab, 1.30 for Mumbai City. Most likely score 1–1.

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.
