The two sides

IFK Goteborg carry a model rating of 6.46 against 6.61 for Kalmar FF. 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): IFK Goteborg L-L-W-L-W; Kalmar FF W-L-D-W-D.

What the model expects

Under the hood the model expects 1.39 goals for IFK Goteborg and 1.31 for Kalmar FF. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

IFK Goteborg rate 0.73 in attack and 1.61 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Kalmar FF rate 0.58 and 1.01.

That points to 51% for over two and a half goals and 55% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 1-1 (13%), 1-0 (9%), 2-1 (9%).

Where the model differs from the table

The table and the model disagree here: the standings favour Kalmar FF, 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.

How this was produced
