Methodology

Monte Carlo Simulation

10,000 tournament runs to produce stable probability distributions for each outcome.

ELO Win Probability

P(win) = 1 / (1 + 10^((ELO₂ − ELO₁) / 600))

5-Factor Model

  • 1ELO rating differential (40%)
  • 2Recent form - last 10 matches (20%)
  • 3xG & defensive metrics (20%)
  • 4Home advantage boost (10%)
  • 5Head-to-head history (10%)
