The two sides

FF Jaro carry a model rating of 5.96 against 6.34 for AC Oulu. 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): FF Jaro W-D-W-L-L; AC Oulu D-L-L-D-W.

The model expects goals

Under the hood the model expects 2.26 goals for FF Jaro and 2.88 for AC Oulu. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

FF Jaro rate 0.39 in attack and 2.34 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; AC Oulu rate 0.88 and 3.06.

That points to 89% for over two and a half goals and 85% for both teams to score.

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

The rest of the season

Across the rest of the season our simulation gives FF Jaro a 0% chance of the title and AC Oulu 0.1%, from 10000 simulated seasons.
