HomeHow the model works
The Sukina Model

We don’t predict certainty.
We show probability.

Team strength ratings

A rolling strength rating (shown 0–99) computed from seasons of real J1 League results, updated after every matchweek. The method is a proprietary statistical composition; the record is public.

Home advantage & expected goals

A fixed home-advantage term is applied to the ratings gap, then converted into each side's expected goals (e.g. 0.96 vs 2.10).

Probability distribution

Expected goals are expanded into the probability of every scoreline, giving the 1X2 split, likely scores and half-time leans. “Higher confidence” needs ≥65%; otherwise “evenly matched”.

Forecast integrity

Locked 24h before kickoff

Every forecast is written to the record 24 hours before kickoff and never edited or recomputed.

Never rewritten

Post-match pages always show the locked pre-match values; unlocked fixtures are never back-filled.

Misses stay public

Wrong calls are kept in full, with the probability the model gave that result pre-match.

Availability is a known unknown

The model reads results only — injuries, transfers and squad changes are not inputs, and pages say so.

Kept entirely separate from the result record above and never merged. Directions are locked 24 hours before kickoff and settled on 90-minute total goals. 100 more to go before directions can appear on match pages — and only if the hit rate holds up.

For this competition the model clearly beats a long-run-average baseline, but has not reached parity with the bookmaker market — so we make no market comparison here. All probabilities are model outputs; the record is public, match by match.
