Where the model differs from the table

The table and the model disagree here: the standings favour VfB Stuttgart (14th, with Inter 15th), while our numbers lean to Inter. Inter rate 1.79 in attack and 0.73 in defence, VfB Stuttgart 1.14 and 0.93 (lower is better in defence), so Inter have been the better side at both ends on recent expected goals, which the 1-point gap in the table does not yet show.
