Almería vs RC Celta Fortuna
Our model puts an Almería win at 74.2% in this Segunda Division fixture — the clearest call on this fixture. Expected goals run 2.52 to 0.78.
What this probability has been worth
A number is worth what it has been worth. Across 1,354 predictions published before kick-off and scored against the result afterwards, the calls we priced between 65% and 75% came in 72.6% of the time — 117 fixtures in that band. The model claimed 69.3%, so the two are within 3.4 points of each other. In this range the stated probability has meant roughly what it says.
Attack against defence
The single rating hides where the mismatch actually sits. Splitting it, Almería's attack should find room against RC Celta Fortuna's defence, by 151 points. That is the mechanism behind the expected-goals line rather than a separate opinion about it.
A disciplinary record worth knowing
Almería collect 3.4 cards a match, on 13.6 fouls a match, against an average of 2.2. Cards are the one thing here that can change a match rather than describe it: a sending-off rewrites every number on this page.
A high-scoring home side
One model here does nothing but estimate how likely the home side is to score four goals or more, and on this fixture it reads 63.5%. Across our settled fixtures that happens about 8% of the time, so this is well above ordinary. It says nothing about who wins — a side can score four and still be caught — but a match where one team is expected to run up a total is one where the scoreline is much harder to call than the result.
