The two sides

Atletico San Luis carry a model rating of 6.42 against 6.64 for CF Pachuca. 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): Atletico San Luis L-D-D; CF Pachuca W-L-L.

What the model expects

Under the hood the model expects 1.43 goals for Atletico San Luis and 1.63 for CF Pachuca. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Atletico San Luis rate 0.67 in attack and 1.57 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; CF Pachuca rate 0.74 and 1.13.

That points to 59% for over two and a half goals and 62% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 1-1 (11%), 1-2 (9%), 2-1 (8%).
