Where the two sides stand. Full tables
Two sides the ratings cannot separate
AC Oulu carry a model rating of 6.34 against 6.35 for Inter Turku. 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): AC Oulu D-L-L-D-W; Inter Turku W-D-L-W-D.
What the model expects
Under the hood the model expects 1.83 goals for AC Oulu and 1.33 for Inter Turku. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
AC Oulu rate 0.88 in attack and 3.06 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Inter Turku rate 0.31 and 1.10.
That points to 61% for over two and a half goals and 62% for both teams to score.
The three most likely scorelines are 1-1 (11%), 2-1 (9%), 1-0 (7%).
Where the model differs from the table
The table and the model disagree here: the standings favour Inter Turku, 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.
Across the rest of the season our simulation gives AC Oulu a 0.1% chance of the title and Inter Turku 2.3%, from 10000 simulated seasons.
