Two sides the ratings cannot separate

Incheon United carry a model rating of 6.72 against 6.68 for Bucheon FC 1995. 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): Incheon United W-D-D-D-W; Bucheon FC 1995 D-W-D-W-W.

The model expects goals

Under the hood the model expects 2.11 goals for Incheon United and 1.43 for Bucheon FC 1995. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Incheon United rate 0.79 in attack and 1.04 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Bucheon FC 1995 rate 0.98 and 1.41.

That points to 68% for over two and a half goals and 67% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 2-1 (9%), 1-1 (9%), 2-2 (7%).
