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 reachedavailable

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 sees this as close: Aluminium Arak is ahead by 4.3 points, which is within the noise of a football match.

Leading factors

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

What changed between versions

  1. v1 · Early pre-match: first available version.
  2. v2 · Sanat Naft -0.5, draw 0.0, Aluminium Arak +0.5 points (early pre-match).
    3 inputs changed together — history up to (9 Oct 2026 → 10 Oct 2026), matches in the fit (678 → 686), history from (5 Oct 2023 → 6 Oct 2023) — so the move cannot be put down to any one of them.
  3. v3 · Sanat Naft +0.1, draw +0.2, Aluminium Arak -0.3 points (early pre-match).
    3 inputs changed together — history up to (10 Oct 2026 → 11 Oct 2026), matches in the fit (686 → 684), history from (6 Oct 2023 → 7 Oct 2023) — so the move cannot be put down to any one of them.
  4. v4 · Sanat Naft +0.6, draw 0.0, Aluminium Arak -0.6 points (early pre-match).
    3 inputs changed together — history up to (11 Oct 2026 → 13 Oct 2026), matches in the fit (684 → 685), history from (7 Oct 2023 → 9 Oct 2023) — so the move cannot be put down to any one of them.

Post-match evaluation

Result 2–1: Sanat Naft. Version 4 (Early pre-match) gave that outcome 23.8%, not its most probable outcome. Log loss 1.437, Brier 0.873 (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 worse than knowing nothing.
