The two sides
Chelsea carry a model rating of 6.8 against 7.05 for Brighton. 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.
What the model expects
Under the hood the model expects 1.34 goals for Chelsea and 1.64 for Brighton. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
Chelsea rate 0.90 in attack and 1.00 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Brighton rate 1.17 and 0.79.
That points to 57% for over two and a half goals and 60% for both teams to score.
The three most likely scorelines are 1-1 (12%), 1-2 (9%), 0-1 (8%).
