Two sides the ratings cannot separate
CFR 1907 Cluj carry a model rating of 6.65 against 6.53 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.
A gap that small is inside the noise of the rating itself — treat the two as level.
Recent form (most recent last): CFR 1907 Cluj L-W-L; FCSB W-W-D-D.
The model expects a tight, low-scoring game
Under the hood the model expects 1.28 goals for CFR 1907 Cluj and 0.79 for FCSB. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
CFR 1907 Cluj rate 0.57 in attack and 0.93 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; FCSB rate 0.61 and 1.19.
That points to 34% for over two and a half goals and 40% for both teams to score.
The three most likely scorelines are 1-0 (15%), 1-1 (13%), 0-0 (13%).
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.
