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 103 matches (Jun 2015 – Oct 2026), Kenya drew 38 where the draw model expected 25.4 from those particular fixtures — about 13 more, or 2.9 standard errors, more of a gap than most, though roughly one subject in twenty looks like this by chance.

As unusual as a coin landing the same way 8 times running. A flat league average would have expected 23.9 instead — "more draws than the league" and "more draws than these fixtures deserved" are different claims. 6 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.
