No earlier matches on record this season.

Up to 5 matches before kick-off, most recent first. The model works from each side's rolling expected-goals ratings rather than from these results directly, so read them as context.

The two sides

HNK Hajduk Split carry a model rating of 6.48 against 6.21 for FK Zalgiris Vilnius. 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): HNK Hajduk Split L; FK Zalgiris Vilnius W-W-L-W-L.

The model expects goals

Under the hood the model expects 3.19 goals for HNK Hajduk Split and 1.48 for FK Zalgiris Vilnius. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

HNK Hajduk Split rate 0.88 in attack and 1.99 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; FK Zalgiris Vilnius rate 0.53 and 1.92.

That points to 84% for over two and a half goals and 74% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 3-1 (8%), 2-1 (7%), 4-1 (6%).
