Two sides the ratings cannot separate

FC Nordsjaelland carry a model rating of 6.59 against 6.57 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.

Recent form (most recent last): FC Nordsjaelland D-W; FC St. Gallen W-W-D.

The model expects goals

Under the hood the model expects 2.80 goals for FC Nordsjaelland and 2.07 for FC St. Gallen. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

FC Nordsjaelland rate 0.95 in attack and 1.70 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; FC St. Gallen rate 0.87 and 1.56.

That points to 86% for over two and a half goals and 82% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 2-2 (6%), 2-1 (6%), 3-2 (6%).
