Two sides the ratings cannot separate

Instituto Cordoba carry a model rating of 6.81 against 6.66 for Gimnasia Mendoza. 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): Instituto Cordoba D-W-L-W-W; Gimnasia Mendoza L-W-W-L-W.

The model expects goals

That points to 73% for over two and a half goals and 68% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 2-1 (9%), 1-1 (8%), 3-1 (7%).
