Top 3 by league goals this season. Player availability is not part of the model — injuries and suspensions are a planned improvement.
Two sides the ratings cannot separate
Al Ain carry a model rating of 6.75 against 6.71 for Tractor Sazi. 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 1.53 goals for Al Ain and 0.94 for Tractor Sazi. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
Al Ain rate 0.88 in attack and 1.07 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Tractor Sazi rate 0.71 and 0.98.

Tractor Sazi score most often in the 76–90 minute window (4 goals); Al Ain have let in 0 there.
Each cell counts the league goals that went in during that 15-minute window. Each side's goals sit above the goals its opponent has let in over the same minutes; the darker the cell, the more goals in that window. Stoppage time counts in the last window of its half. Source: API-Football season statistics, refreshed after each league match; own goals are not always counted on the same side as in the table, so a row can be a goal off it. Context, not a prediction.
