How the model rates them now
Attack and defence are multipliers on an average side: above 1.00 in attack means the club scores more than the average team in its competition, and below 1.00 in defence means it concedes fewer. The methodology sets out how they are derived, including where the model is known to be wrong.
| Club | Attack | Defence |
|---|---|---|
| RB Bragantino | 0.84 | 1.10 |
| Santos | 1.02 | 1.16 |

Two sides the ratings cannot separate
RB Bragantino carry a model rating of 6.72 against 6.79 for Santos. The scale is anchored so that an average side in one of Europe's big five leagues sits at 6.85, and it is adjusted for the strength of each team's league, so the two numbers are comparable even across borders.
A gap that small is inside the noise of the rating itself — treat the two as level.
What the model expects
Under the hood the model expects 1.54 goals for RB Bragantino and 1.26 for Santos. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
RB Bragantino rate 0.84 in attack and 1.10 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Santos rate 1.02 and 1.16.
Where the model differs from the table
The table and the model disagree here: the standings favour Santos, while our numbers lean the other way. The model weights recent expected goals rather than results already banked, so it moves before the table does.
How this was produced

The colour is how strong the opponent is, from easier to harder as on the scale above: its model rating ranked among the teams of that competition, in fifths, so bright red is the top fifth whoever is playing it. The win figure is this side's own chance in that match, which is where venue and its own level come in.
