considering the amount of money Zenit are able to spend to sign players, i dont think it's a big surprise to see them beating Valencia. even if it's an away match. 55m € for Hulk, 40 for Witsel, 16.8 for Garcia, 15 for Criscito. how many teams have such generous sugar daddies?

Last goal of the European midweek, scored by Slovan's Liberec defender Vladimir Coufal in Marseille, produced the biggest upset of MD2 (odds for a Slovan's win were as high as 10/1). Olympiakos' win at the Emirates wasn't bad either with odds at 8/1.

I am not sure how to read these lists. "Got" must be the points the countries got, 2 for a win and 1 for a draw. But where is the "expected" and "delta" number coming from? And is "delta" a fancy way of writing "difference"?

Those points expected are derived from bookie odds.

Example:

Bayern v Arsenal
home win = 2.00 = 50%
draw = 3.00 = 33.3%
away win = 6.00 = 16.7%

So expectation for Bayern:
50% * 2 points + 33.3% * 1 point = 1.333 points
for Arsenal:
16.7% * 2 points + 33.3% * 1 point = 0.667 points

If Bayern win, the delta is
2 points - 1.333 points = 0.667 points
If Bayern draw, the delta is
1 point - 1.333 points = minus 0.333 points

And yes, delta is the fancy way of saying difference. Scientists and statisticians rather use delta than difference.

Aidann Marvelous work. I truly enjoy this. Is there a way to keep an aggregate ranking as well? I mean, I would love to see the overall regarding MD1 + MD2. And then next week the MD3 in isolation and then MD1+MD2+MD3 as well, etc.. So in the end we would have an overall ranking of both teams and countries performances according to initial expectations.

I absolutely agree the biggest upsets were Olympiakos` and Liberec`s wins. I rate the Greeks` one a bit higher, because they`ve won in England against a so called ``world class`` team who knew they must win to stay in contention and after 12 defeats on English soil without a win or draw. And they beat Arsenal being the better, smarter team. Liberec`s triumph had a bit of luck in it, Marseille outshot them 23:3.

Danish champions Midtjylland lead the overall ranking by a small margin over Partizan Belgrade. No surprise at the bottom, with Arsenal's two surprising defeats condemning them to last place.

Dream midweek for Turkish teams after Galatasaray and Fenerbahce managed to overcome two difficult opponents and Besiktas secured a valuable point in Moscow. Again France is losing ground in their battle against Portugal and Russia for the 3rd UCL spot.

Amazing job Aidann!
It's incredible how these rankings confirm "our" expectations day after day after day. I think this is a very nice mathematical model of expectations. Well, when one thinks about it, bookies make their odds based on a very large number of bets by human users... so in the end, this mathematical model is a kind of large "crowdsourcing" analysis of big data, like a giant poll. Very, very, very nice and elegant, and simple. I wonder if this kind of model could have other applications and derivatives...
Play fair and square!
