GoalsAssists

No player in Liga Pro's leading scorers — 28 league goals as a side.

Top 3 by league goals this season. Player availability is not part of the model — injuries and suspensions are a planned improvement.

Two sides the ratings cannot separate

Delfin SC carry a model rating of 6.31 against 6.35 for Deportivo Cuenca. 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.

The model expects a tight, low-scoring game

Under the hood the model expects 1.14 goals for Delfin SC and 0.91 for Deportivo Cuenca. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Delfin SC rate 0.49 in attack and 1.48 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Deportivo Cuenca rate 0.51 and 1.43.
