Two sides the ratings cannot separate

Gornik Zabrze carry a model rating of 6.57 against 6.56 for GKS Katowice. 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.

What the model expects

Under the hood the model expects 1.68 goals for Gornik Zabrze and 1.20 for GKS Katowice. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Gornik Zabrze rate 0.76 in attack and 1.34 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; GKS Katowice rate 0.64 and 1.17.

That points to 55% for over two and a half goals and 57% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 1-1 (12%), 2-1 (10%), 1-0 (9%).
