The two sides

Farul Constanta carry a model rating of 6.54 against 6.05 for FC Botosani. 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): Farul Constanta L-W-D-W-D; FC Botosani D-D-L-D.

The model expects goals

Under the hood the model expects 4.15 goals for Farul Constanta and 1.28 for FC Botosani. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Farul Constanta rate 0.98 in attack and 2.03 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; FC Botosani rate 0.45 and 2.24.

That points to 90% for over two and a half goals and 71% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 4-1 (7%), 3-1 (7%), 5-1 (6%).
