Hi!
ReplyDeleteany idea to what happened to the eloratings website?
Works for me. I assume it was down because it had used up all its bandwidth.
DeleteUEFA NT-ranking after the matches played this weekend and including all the elo-predicted EURO-qualifiers until October. Indicated are the group spots after EURO-qualifying (Q1 and Q2: spot 1 and 2 in the group, Qq: best nr. 3, q1-8: numbers three of the 8 remaining groups sorted on October 2015 NT-coeff). Please keep in mind that the elo-predictions I use are only 1:0, 0:0 or 0:1. As the scored goals do count in the NT-coefficient, this is only a realistic indication of the resulting coefficient. This ranking plus the results of the November play-offs is used as seeding ranking for the EURO 2016 finals draw. Host France and reigning European champion Spain (when qualified) are always seeded in pot 1:

Can't see Iceland being the best qualifier if the Netherlands top the group, they'd have to slide a fair bit. Group F or D seem to be the best bet, I'm going to stick my neck out here and say best 3rd place ... GERMANY.
ReplyDeleteFind it strange Germany are more certain than Slovakia, they've used up their games with Gibraltar and have had tight games with the top four with one home win and one home draw. One bad result i.e. An away defeat to Scotland or Rep. Ireland or a home defeat to Poland and top 2 is far from guaranteed.
DeleteWell, all above is of course according to elo and in that ranking Germany is far and away the best of that group. So elo predicts 4 wins, no matter the opposition,
DeleteElo predicts two home-wins and two away-losses for Iceland: so they become best third with 15 points, 1 point better than the third-placed teams from group D (Poland) and group C (Ukraine).
ReplyDeleteThird-placed of group F (Hungary) is predicted to lose quite some points this autumn and reaches only 11 points.
In group D Germany is of course predicted to win the group comfortably, while Scotland and Poland end at the same points-total, their head-to-head will be decisive.
Kevin, you are a bold predictor, to say the least !
Nice)
