Two sides the ratings cannot separate
Deportivo Cuenca carry a model rating of 6.33 against 6.25 for Tecnico Universitario. 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.
What the model expects
Under the hood the model expects 1.53 goals for Deportivo Cuenca and 0.99 for Tecnico Universitario. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
Deportivo Cuenca rate 0.52 in attack and 1.49 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Tecnico Universitario rate 0.55 and 1.81.
How this was produced

Full method: how the model works.
From the first whistle this page keeps going: the win probabilities at the top are recalculated as the match plays out, reading the score, the clock and any sendings-off. The same model, asked how many goals are left rather than how many there will be.
