The two sides

Gimnasia Mendoza carry a model rating of 6.46 against 6.63 for Talleres Cordoba. 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): Gimnasia Mendoza W-W-L-W-L; Talleres Cordoba D-L-L-L-W.

The model expects goals

Under the hood the model expects 1.60 goals for Gimnasia Mendoza and 1.66 for Talleres Cordoba. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Gimnasia Mendoza rate 0.75 in attack and 1.65 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Talleres Cordoba rate 0.72 and 1.13.

That points to 63% for over two and a half goals and 65% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 1-1 (11%), 1-2 (8%), 2-1 (8%).
