The two sides
Hapoel Beer Sheva carry a model rating of 6.15 against 6.45 for Sabah FA. 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): Hapoel Beer Sheva L-W-W-W; Sabah FA W-W-W-L-W.
The model expects goals
Under the hood the model expects 1.53 goals for Hapoel Beer Sheva and 2.10 for Sabah FA. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
Hapoel Beer Sheva rate 0.56 in attack and 2.31 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Sabah FA rate 0.65 and 1.45.
That points to 70% for over two and a half goals and 69% for both teams to score.
The three most likely scorelines are 1-2 (9%), 1-1 (9%), 2-2 (7%).
