Two sides the ratings cannot separate

FC Basel 1893 carry a model rating of 6.46 against 6.53 for FC St. Gallen. 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

FC Basel 1893 rate 0.67 in attack and 1.45 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; FC St. Gallen rate 0.75 and 1.42.
