Why Ranko focuses on inter-league matches
Ranko was designed to put clubs from different domestic competitions on one connected scale. UEFA matches provide the bridges between those leagues, making the Champions League the model's most natural real-world test.
The public forecast pages show outputs and evaluation rules, while the exact rating construction, weighting, transformations and calibration remain proprietary. That balance lets readers inspect what was predicted without disclosing the forecasting engine.
A historical audit covering 64 recorded Champions League matches in 2024/25 and 2025/26 found 40 correct Ranko top picks (62.5%). The result is encouraging, but the sample does not establish statistical superiority or equivalence.
