Two sides the ratings cannot separate

IF Elfsborg carry a model rating of 6.43 against 6.35 for Vasteras SK FK. 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): IF Elfsborg L-L-L-W-W; Vasteras SK FK W-W-D-W-L.

The model expects goals

Under the hood the model expects 2.55 goals for IF Elfsborg and 1.54 for Vasteras SK FK. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

IF Elfsborg rate 0.64 in attack and 1.49 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Vasteras SK FK rate 0.74 and 2.11.

That points to 78% for over two and a half goals and 73% for both teams to score.

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