Description
Full quantitative and statistical analysis of the 23rd round in Primera RFEF – Group 2 (Season 2025-2026): Mathematical models for risk assessment and Harmony index
This analytical report presents a comprehensive study of the football matches of the 23rd round of the Spanish Primera RFEF – Group 2 for the 2025-2026 season. The analysis is based on a rigorous mathematical protocol that integrates statistical data on team performance, Poisson distribution for goal prediction and the specialized Harmony Index for risk assessment. The methodology used is designed to eliminate subjective bias and provide the professional audience with an objective view of the probabilistic outcomes, based on algorithmic instructions and the “Master_ Template ” .
The dynamics of the Primera RFEF in the 2025-2026 season are characterized by extremely high competition and small differences in the points assets of the teams in the middle of the table. As of the 22nd round, the leader Sabadell maintains a stable position with 43 points, closely followed by Atletico Madrid B with 39 points. This phase of the championship is critical, as the teams begin to optimize their defensive and attacking strategies, which directly affects the stability of the mathematical prediction models.
Mathematical framework and computational protocol
To understand the in-depth analysis of each match, it is necessary to define the parameters of the model used. The process goes through nine phases that turn raw statistics into actionable insights.
The first phase involves extracting the overall percentages of wins (W%), draws (D%), and losses (L%), as well as the average number of goals scored and conceded. This data is used to determine the “Strength of Attack” and “Strength of Defense” of each team. The strength of attack is calculated as the sum of the percentages of wins, losses, and average goals scored, while the strength of defense is the reciprocal of the balance between wins, losses, and goals conceded.
Attack Power =( W %+ L %+ GF avg )
Defense Power = W %− L %+ GA avg 1
The second phase uses these values to calculate the expected goals (xG) by averaging the attacking strength of one team and the defensive strength of its opponent. The third phase applies the Poisson distribution to generate the probabilities for the outcomes 1, X and 2.
The key element of the analysis is the Harmony Index ( HI), which is derived from two sub-indices: model stability (K) and equality index (L). Stability measures the dispersion of probabilities, while equality index assesses the structural similarity between opponents. The formula for HI is:
HI = K 2 + 1− L 1
Values above 100 points classify the match as a “Platinum Selection” , which is a security priority.

Risk assessment and market trends
The analysis of the Primera RFEF Group 2 for the 2025-2026 season reveals several significant statistical clusters. The average number of goals in the league hovers around 2.05 per match, which is an important context for interpreting Poisson probabilities. Around 45% of matches end in a draw, which explains why the V3 verdict so often falls into the “ X” zone during this round.
The integration of weather factors is also essential. Storm DANA, which hit Spain in February 2026, led to the postponement of matches in several categories, including the Primera Federación. Although the matches analyzed were on schedule, deteriorated pitches often lead to a decrease in attacking power and an increase in defensive efficiency, which mathematically supports the lower xG values in our calculations.

Conclusions and strategic insights
The analysis of the 23rd round of the Primera RFEF – Group 2 highlights the complexity of forecasting in a league where draws are the dominant statistical trend. However, the Harmony Index mathematical model successfully identified those matches where the probability is significantly tilted in one direction, as is the case with the home matches of Real Murcia and Atletico Madrid B.
It is worth noting the absence of a “Platinum Selection” in this round. This is not an indication of a failure of the model, but rather a reflection of the real statistical situation on the field. Platinum selection requires extreme stability and structural inequality between teams (HI > 100), which is a rare occurrence given the current small differences in Group 2. Bettors should concentrate on the “Medium Risk” zone , prioritizing matches with HI above 15.00, as they demonstrate higher mathematical stability.
In conclusion, the V3 model strongly recommends paying attention to matches with a ” 1″ sign for top-of-the-table home teams hosting tailenders (Murcia, Atl. Madrid B, Cartagena). In parallel, the high draw index of matches such as Torremolinos – Teruel provides excellent opportunities for markets focused on under 2.5 goals or a direct draw. The analysis remains true to the principles of safety and discipline, emphasizing that numbers should always come before emotions in sports prediction.
