What this team's results have earned: every match in the database is replayed in date order, both sides start at 1500 and the winner takes points from the loser. The rating is the one it held after its last rated match, and the rank counts every national team ever rated, sides that no longer play included. A measure of strength, not a forecast of the next result. Computed 3 Nov 2026.

Over 110 matches (Apr 1982 – Jun 2026), Bhutan drew 7 where the draw model expected 18.8 from those particular fixtures — about 12 fewer, or 3.0 standard errors, well beyond the model — which is as likely to be a gap in the model as a property of Bhutan.

As unusual as a coin landing the same way 10 times running. A flat league average would have expected 21.9 instead — "more draws than the league" and "more draws than these fixtures deserved" are different claims. These matches were part of the model's own training set, so its chances were fitted already knowing the results.
