The two sides

Anderlecht carry a model rating of 6.73 against 7.04 for Genk. 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.

Recent form (most recent last): Anderlecht W-L; Genk L-W-D.

What the model expects

Under the hood the model expects 1.21 goals for Anderlecht and 1.63 for Genk. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Anderlecht rate 0.88 in attack and 1.11 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Genk rate 1.05 and 0.73.

That points to 54% for over two and a half goals and 57% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 1-1 (12%), 1-2 (9%), 0-1 (9%).
