The two sides
Genk carry a model rating of 6.93 against 6.77 for KVC Westerlo. 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): Genk L; KVC Westerlo L.
What the model expects
Under the hood the model expects 1.92 goals for Genk and 1.05 for KVC Westerlo. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
Genk rate 0.97 in attack and 0.84 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; KVC Westerlo rate 0.89 and 1.05.
That points to 57% for over two and a half goals and 56% for both teams to score.
The three most likely scorelines are 1-1 (11%), 2-1 (10%), 2-0 (9%).
