A clear gap in the ratings
Dinamo Zagreb carry a model rating of 6.63 against 6.02 for Rudes. 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.
Recent form (most recent last): Dinamo Zagreb W; Rudes L-L.
The model expects goals
Under the hood the model expects 3.44 goals for Dinamo Zagreb and 0.75 for Rudes. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
Dinamo Zagreb rate 0.71 in attack and 1.11 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Rudes rate 0.48 and 2.56.
That points to 79% for over two and a half goals and 51% for both teams to score.
The three most likely scorelines are 3-0 (10%), 2-0 (9%), 4-0 (9%).
