Two sides the ratings cannot separate

GO Ahead Eagles carry a model rating of 6.5 against 6.42 for ADO Den Haag. 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): GO Ahead Eagles W; ADO Den Haag L.

The model expects goals

Under the hood the model expects 2.33 goals for GO Ahead Eagles and 1.47 for ADO Den Haag. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

GO Ahead Eagles rate 0.71 in attack and 1.44 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; ADO Den Haag rate 0.73 and 1.74.

That points to 73% for over two and a half goals and 70% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 2-1 (9%), 1-1 (8%), 3-1 (7%).
