A clear gap in the ratings
Angers carry a model rating of 6.53 against 7.08 for Lille. 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 0.82 goals for Angers and 1.66 for Lille. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
Angers rate 0.71 in attack and 1.35 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Lille rate 0.88 and 0.61.
That points to 45% for over two and a half goals and 46% for both teams to score.
The three most likely scorelines are 0-1 (13%), 1-1 (12%), 0-2 (12%).
