Two sides the ratings cannot separate

FC Midtjylland carry a model rating of 6.56 against 6.47 for Randers FC. 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.

Recent form (most recent last): FC Midtjylland W-W; Randers FC D-L-W.

What the model expects

Under the hood the model expects 1.60 goals for FC Midtjylland and 0.97 for Randers FC. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

FC Midtjylland rate 0.69 in attack and 1.24 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Randers FC rate 0.56 and 1.23.

That points to 48% for over two and a half goals and 50% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 1-1 (12%), 1-0 (12%), 2-0 (10%).
