Availability: absences are not recorded for this competition, so none is claimed.

Key players are each side's 3 with the most minutes in Persian Gulf Pro League 2026/27 before this match, counted from each match's player figures; a tie on minutes goes to more goals plus assists, then the name. Goals and assists are summed from the same figures. This is a count, not a judgement of quality, and no rating is used.

Statistical model

How the forecast was reachedlimited

The forecast and every version are in the summary; this section only says why.

Computed by Stadiomind’s statistical model from match data. Not a person’s opinion.

The model gives Persepolis the most probability, 27.5 points ahead of the next outcome. Every outcome remains possible; these are probabilities, not a prediction of the result.

Leading factors

  • Team strength · favours Persepolis · net strength (attack minus defence) from recent results and the Elo prior
  • Attack against defence · favours Persepolis · how the sides' attacks match up against the opposing defences
  • Home advantage · favours Mes Shahr-e Babak · league-wide home advantage learned from the training window

What changed between versions

  1. v1 · Early pre-match: first available version.
  2. v2 · Mes Shahr-e Babak 0.0, draw +0.9, Persepolis -0.9 points (early pre-match).
    3 inputs changed together — history up to (11 Oct 2026 → 14 Oct 2026), matches in the fit (684 → 686), history from (7 Oct 2023 → 10 Oct 2023) — so the move cannot be put down to any one of them.

Post-match evaluation

Result 0–3: Persepolis. Version 2 (Early pre-match) gave that outcome 56.1%, its most probable outcome. Log loss 0.578, Brier 0.298 (lower is better; knowing nothing scores 1.099 and 0.667).

Both numbers measure how much probability the model put on what really happened. Here both are better than knowing nothing.
