Win Probability: Tigres FC or Union Magdalena?

Based on recent form, head-to-head balance and home advantage, our model gave the following win probabilities:

• Tigres FC win: 30%
• Draw: 35%
• Union Magdalena win: 35%

The calculation placed more weight on Union Magdalena's superior recent run (8 points from 15 available vs Tigres’ 1 point) and their higher league standing. However, Tigres’ home advantage and historical edge in the H2H (3 wins in last 5 meetings) prevented Union from being a clear favourite. The draw was considered the most likely single outcome due to both teams’ tendency to share points in past meetings.
