Top 3 by league goals this season. Player availability is not part of the model — injuries and suspensions are a planned improvement.

Two sides the ratings cannot separate

Gais carry a model rating of 6.38 against 6.44 for Malmo FF. 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): Gais D-W-L-D-W; Malmo FF W-D-L-W-L.

The model expects goals

Under the hood the model expects 2.20 goals for Gais and 1.77 for Malmo FF. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Gais rate 0.63 in attack and 1.60 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Malmo FF rate 0.79 and 1.85.

That points to 76% for over two and a half goals and 74% for both teams to score.

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

Where the model differs from the table

The table and the model disagree here: the standings favour Malmo FF, while our numbers lean the other way. The model weights recent expected goals rather than results already banked, so it moves before the table does.
