Two sides the ratings cannot separate

1. FC Heidenheim carry a model rating of 6.92 against 6.94 for Dynamo Dresden. 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.

Recent form (most recent last): 1. FC Heidenheim W; Dynamo Dresden L.

The model expects goals

Under the hood the model expects 1.84 goals for 1. FC Heidenheim and 1.41 for Dynamo Dresden. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

1. FC Heidenheim rate 1.16 in attack and 1.02 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Dynamo Dresden rate 0.99 and 0.84.

That points to 63% for over two and a half goals and 64% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 1-1 (11%), 2-1 (9%), 1-2 (7%).
