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 2 Oct 2026.

Over 130 matches (Mar 2015 โ€“ Oct 2026), Poland drew 33 where the draw model expected 27.1 from those particular fixtures โ€” about 6 more, or 1.3 standard errors, a gap most teams show over a stretch this long.

As unusual as a coin landing the same way 2 times running. A flat league average would have expected 30.0 instead โ€” "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.

Draw ยท logistic is the chance of a draw from the logistic draw model: five signals โ€” the goals model, the draw rate at the Elo gap, the expected goals and the competition's own draw rate โ€” fitted on every match played so far and recalibrated, then applied to fixtures not yet played. A dash means the model has not rated that fixture. Descriptive statistics, not betting advice.
