The two sides
Al-Sailiya carry a model rating of 6.11 against 6.45 for Lusail City. 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 1.01 goals for Al-Sailiya and 1.82 for Lusail City. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
Al-Sailiya rate 0.49 in attack and 2.17 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Lusail City rate 0.48 and 1.17.
How this was produced
Publicly tracked record so far: 2,146 correct results out of 4,446 settled predictions (48%), with 446 exact scorelines (10%). That log is updated automatically after every match and is never edited.
Full method: how the model works.
Once the match starts, the win probabilities at the top update live from the score, the clock and any sendings-off.

How the model reaches 52% for Lusail City to win

Season stats

League matches only, Stars League, this season. Rates are per game, since the two sides have not always played the same number; the tinted figure is the better one, where better is not a matter of taste. Source: API-Football season statistics, refreshed after each league match.
Goals scored and conceded, by minute
All Stars League matches this season: Al-Sailiya 6, Lusail City 6.
Al-Sailiya score most often in the 76–90 minute window (3 goals); Lusail City 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.
