What are the Bundesliga round 8 predictions?

The most one-sided match of the round: Bayer Leverkusen — VfB Stuttgart (73% for the favourite); the most even: Werder Bremen — Hoffenheim. Below is every match: the model's chances, expected goals and why the picture looks the way it does.

How are the predictions calculated?

A Poisson model over xG works out the chances: how dangerous each side is in attack and how much it allows, with a home advantage applied. Expected goals and the likeliest scores come from the same model. It is an assessment of play, not a guarantee of the result.

Why might the favourite not win?

The highest chance this round is 73% to win: in roughly 27 cases out of a hundred the favourite does not win. Chance plays a visible part in a single match, so the model is usually more accurate over a run than in one game.
