Up to 5 matches before kick-off, most recent first. The model works from each side's rolling expected-goals ratings rather than from these results directly, so read them as context.

Two sides the ratings cannot separate

Belgrano Cordoba carry a model rating of 6.61 against 6.5 for Defensa Y Justicia. 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.

A gap that small is inside the noise of the rating itself — treat the two as level.

Recent form (most recent last): Belgrano Cordoba W-W-W-L-D; Defensa Y Justicia L-L-D-W-L.

The model expects goals

Under the hood the model expects 2.84 goals for Belgrano Cordoba and 1.58 for Defensa Y Justicia. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Belgrano Cordoba rate 0.79 in attack and 1.27 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Defensa Y Justicia rate 0.89 and 1.90.

That points to 82% for over two and a half goals and 75% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 2-1 (8%), 3-1 (7%), 2-2 (6%).
