Inter are 61% to win Serie A, with Como next on 20%. 83 games played, 297 to go. Re-run after every match day.
- Top scorer. A. Raimondo (Frosinone) has 7 and projects to about 23. He finishes top in 28% of our simulated seasons.
- Most assists. P. Dybala (AS Roma) has 4, projected about 12.
- Going down. Most likely: Udinese (52%), Parma (51%), Venezia (38%).
Against the market. Before the season the betting market had Inter around 50% for the title. We are higher. Clubs off to a strong start with modest ratings, such as Lazio, get little credit for it here.
Ratings over the table. Our relegation numbers lean on ratings more than the table: Udinese are 52% to go down on 4 points, with 1 club below them on fewer.
The projected table
Clubs in order of average finishing position across 10,000 simulated seasons, which is not always the order of projected points. Relegated means the automatic places. Likely finish is the range a club ends in at least eight seasons out of ten.

Every position
Each club's chance of finishing in each place. Brighter means more likely. Blank means it did not happen once in 10,000 simulated seasons, which is not the same as impossible. <1% means under half a percent.

How it works
Every league game left is played out 10,000 times. Team strengths come from our match ratings, built from this season's and last season's results. Points settle the table, then goal difference and goals scored. La Liga and Serie A break ties on head-to-head first, which we don't model.
A player's total is his goals or assists so far, plus his rate this season blended with last season's, times the share of minutes he is getting, times the games his team has left. When his team scores more in a simulated season, so does he.
What it can't see
Injuries still to come, January signings, manager changes and points deductions. Ratings don't allow for us being wrong about a team, so the biggest numbers run too high and the ranges too narrow. Our own test of league forecasts in English football found betting prices read a final table better than results-based ratings do, and that results-based ranges come out too narrow. This forecast uses results-based ratings, so treat the biggest numbers with care. It is not scored yet: we keep every update and will score them all when the season ends. How we scored our league forecasts before.
