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 2,027 Serie B matches up to 24 Oct 2026, weighting recent results more and allowing for home advantage.

Base rates

Context, not used by the model: Serie B matches have gone over 2.5 in 53.8% of games this season, across 78 played.

Head to head

Context, not used by the model: 2 previous meetings since 2021/22 in every competition we cover, 3.00 goals a meeting; 1 of 2 went over 2.5.

Home and away form

Sampdoria at home: 1.00 scored, 1.33 conceded a game (last 6). Virtus Entella away: 1.17 scored, 1.00 conceded (last 6).

What the model expects

1.22 goals for Sampdoria, 1.05 for Virtus Entella. 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.
