The two sides

CFR 1907 Cluj carry a model rating of 6.68 against 6.4 for FCSB. 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): CFR 1907 Cluj L-W-L; FCSB W-W-D.

What the model expects

Under the hood the model expects 1.60 goals for CFR 1907 Cluj and 0.73 for FCSB. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

CFR 1907 Cluj rate 0.61 in attack and 0.93 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; FCSB rate 0.56 and 1.39.

That points to 41% for over two and a half goals and 42% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 1-0 (15%), 2-0 (12%), 1-1 (12%).

Where the model differs from the table

The table and the model disagree here: the standings favour FCSB, while our numbers lean the other way. The model weights recent expected goals rather than results already banked, so it moves before the table does.
