The model expects goals
Under the hood the model expects 2.86 goals for FC St. Gallen and 1.18 for Sheriff Tiraspol. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
FC St. Gallen rate 0.87 in attack and 1.56 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Sheriff Tiraspol rate 0.54 and 1.74.
That points to 77% for over two and a half goals and 66% for both teams to score.
The three most likely scorelines are 2-1 (9%), 3-1 (8%), 2-0 (7%).
