Where the two sides stand. Full tables
The two sides
Gent carry a model rating of 6.92 against 7.13 for Club Brugge KV. 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): Gent W; Club Brugge KV W-W.
The model expects goals
Under the hood the model expects 1.75 goals for Gent and 1.95 for Club Brugge KV. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
Gent rate 1.04 in attack and 0.91 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Club Brugge KV rate 1.53 and 0.89.
That points to 71% for over two and a half goals and 71% for both teams to score.
The three most likely scorelines are 1-1 (9%), 1-2 (8%), 2-1 (7%).
