Two sides the ratings cannot separate
Deportivo Riestra carry a model rating of 6.61 against 6.74 for Estudiantes La Plata. 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.
