Knockout scenario

This is a knockout tie: a draw after 90 minutes goes to 30 minutes of extra time, and if still level, a penalty shootout.

About 18% chance the match is level after 90 minutes and goes to extra time.

Pre-match Outlook

Goalence's Pi-Ratings model gives Colombia a clear edge against Ghana in World Cup — 73% confidence (ELITE tier) with an expected scoreline of 2-0.

The model favors a one-sided sheet — BTTS no at 57% — pointing toward at least one team being kept off the board.

How the Model Works

We use an iterative Pi-Ratings model: each team has separate home and away attack/defense ratings, updated after every match. Lambda values are converted to outcome probabilities via Poisson distribution. Match result, over/under, and BTTS predictions are all derived from a single coherent model.
