Two sides the ratings cannot separate

Guadalajara Chivas carry a model rating of 6.71 against 6.77 for Club Tijuana. 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): Guadalajara Chivas L-W-D; Club Tijuana W-W-D.

What the model expects

Under the hood the model expects 1.68 goals for Guadalajara Chivas and 1.41 for Club Tijuana. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Guadalajara Chivas rate 0.83 in attack and 1.11 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Club Tijuana rate 0.91 and 1.07.

That points to 60% for over two and a half goals and 62% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 1-1 (11%), 2-1 (9%), 1-2 (8%).

Where the model differs from the table

The table and the model disagree here: the standings favour Club Tijuana, while our numbers lean the other way. The model weights recent expected goals rather than results already banked, so it moves before the table does.
