The two sides

Gent carry a model rating of 6.96 against 6.69 for OH Leuven. 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-W; OH Leuven L-L.

The model expects goals

Under the hood the model expects 2.26 goals for Gent and 0.98 for OH Leuven. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Gent rate 1.02 in attack and 0.82 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; OH Leuven rate 0.85 and 1.17.

That points to 63% for over two and a half goals and 56% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 2-0 (10%), 2-1 (10%), 1-1 (9%).
