How the DEL season works
The DEL is Germany's top league. Its clubs play 52 rounds from September to March. A regulation win is worth three points, a win after overtime or a shootout two, and a loss after overtime or a shootout one.
The top six go straight to the quarter-finals, seventh to tenth play a best-of-three pre-playoff round, and the playoffs run into April.
Using the DEL picks
Each game shows the moneyline (overtime and shootout included), the regulation result with the draw, a puck line and a total. Ratings come from this season's DEL results, with the league's own home-ice edge, blended with the betting market where bookmakers price the game.
Our DEL record
Before launch the model was tested on the 2023–24 DEL season, predicting each game only from the games before it, against always backing the home team and the team with the better points record. The test and the live record are on the accuracy page.
DEL predictions: questions
- How many points is a win worth in the DEL?
- Three for a win in regulation, two for a win after overtime or a shootout, one for a loss after overtime or a shootout.
- Are DEL predictions free?
- Yes. The win probability and projected score of every DEL game are free to read, with no sign-up.
- When are DEL predictions published?
- Up to three days before the face-off, and they update until the game starts.
- How accurate are the DEL predictions?
- The model was tested on the whole 2023–24 season, predicting each game only from the games before it: it called 59% of DEL winners in 404 games, against 57% for always backing the home team. Every new pick is settled in public on the accuracy page.
- How many goals are scored in DEL games?
- Finished DEL games this season have averaged 6 goals in total, and the home team has won 55% of them. Each game's own projected total is on its prediction page.
- When are DEL predictions published?
- Up to 3 days before the face-off. Each prediction is updated as the betting market moves, until the game starts.
- What do the puck line and the total mean?
- The puck line is hockey's handicap: −1.5 means the favourite has to win by two goals or more, +1.5 that the underdog covers if it wins or loses by one. A win after overtime or a shootout is always by one goal. The total is the number of goals both teams score together, overtime included and a shootout counted as one goal; the over/under pick says whether the game should finish above or below the line.
- Are the DEL predictions free?
- Yes. The win probability, projected score, puck line and total goals of every DEL game are free to read, with no sign-up.
- How are the predictions made?
- Each team gets attack and defence ratings from this season's games in regulation, weighted toward recent form and adjusted for the opponents faced, plus a home-ice edge measured for each league. A Poisson model turns them into the chance of every score, ties go to overtime and the shootout, and where bookmakers price a game the model is blended with their consensus.
