Analysis

Our model puts a Córdoba win at 43.8% in this Segunda Division fixture — close to a three-way split. Expected goals run 1.35 to 1.62.

What this probability has been worth

A number is worth what it has been worth. Across 2,324 predictions published before kick-off and scored against the result afterwards, the calls we priced between 35% and 45% came in 38.3% of the time — 853 fixtures in that band. The model claimed 40.6%, so the two are within 2.3 points of each other. In this range the stated probability has meant roughly what it says.

Evenly rated

There is almost nothing between these two on rating — 1493 against 1510, a gap of 17 points. Fixtures this evenly matched are where a model has least to say: the probabilities below are honest, but they are close to a coin weighted only slightly.

Attack against defence

The single rating hides where the mismatch actually sits. Splitting it, Córdoba's attack should find room against RC Celta Fortuna's defence, by 103 points. That is the mechanism behind the expected-goals line rather than a separate opinion about it.

Finding the target

Córdoba struggles to hit the target: 27.7% of their shots are on goal over their last matches. The average across the sides we have figures for is 33.9%. Accuracy is not the same as scoring — it says how much of a side's shooting is worth a goalkeeper's attention, which is the part that does not swing as wildly from week to week as goals do.

How often they shoot

Córdoba take 18.3 shots a match against an average of 12. Volume like that usually means territory rather than precision, and it is why a side can dominate a match and still not win it.

A disciplinary record worth knowing

Córdoba collect 3.2 cards a match, on 16.3 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.

Behind the defence

51.3% of the shots on target Córdoba face do not end up in the net, against 67.3% for the sides we measure. That is low enough to matter, and it is the kind of number that flatters or punishes a side's record without saying much about how it plays.
