The two sides

FC Thun carry a model rating of 6.33 against 6.12 for Vikingur Reykjavik. 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): FC Thun W-L; Vikingur Reykjavik W-D-W-L.

The model expects goals

Under the hood the model expects 2.58 goals for FC Thun and 1.26 for Vikingur Reykjavik. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

FC Thun rate 0.62 in attack and 1.77 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Vikingur Reykjavik rate 0.51 and 2.20.

That points to 74% for over two and a half goals and 67% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 2-1 (9%), 3-1 (8%), 1-1 (7%).
