The two sides
Al-Rayyan SC carry a model rating of 6.59 against 6.26 for Al-Gharafa. 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.
What the model expects
Under the hood the model expects 2.11 goals for Al-Rayyan SC and 1.05 for Al-Gharafa. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
Al-Rayyan SC rate 0.70 in attack and 1.18 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Al-Gharafa rate 0.52 and 1.69.
How this was produced

From the first whistle this page keeps going: the win probabilities at the top are recalculated as the match plays out, reading the score, the clock and any sendings-off. The same model, asked how many goals are left rather than how many there will be.
