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 140 matches (Apr 1960 – Sep 2026), Central African Republic drew 29 where the draw model expected 32.9 from those particular fixtures — about 4 fewer, or 0.8 standard errors, which is what the model expected, near enough.

A flat league average would have expected 32.5 instead — "more draws than the league" and "more draws than these fixtures deserved" are different claims. 2 of the matches carry no model probability and are left out. These matches were part of the model's own training set, so its chances were fitted already knowing the results.
