Why the model favours this side
The model gives Belarus the highest probability at 37%, based on each side's rolling attack and defence ratings estimated from recent match data. The model projects 1.18 expected goals for Belarus against 1.08 for Albania. Belarus's attack/defence rating is 0.95/0.99 versus the league average (1.00 = average), compared with 0.87/0.92 for Albania.
Uncalibrated. National-team ratings are anchored on the FIFA World Ranking, because these groups never play each other and nothing inside the results can compare them. The constants behind that anchor are declared, not fitted — too few national-team matches have been settled to test them — so treat this prediction as the weakest kind we publish. How the model works.
How the model reaches 37% for Belarus to win
Start from two average sides on neutral ground: 36% for Belarus to win. Then home advantage adds 2 points, the level of the two sides takes away 2 points, Belarus's ratings add 1 point and Albania's ratings change nothing, which lands on the published 37%.
