The two sides

Jagiellonia carry a model rating of 6.54 against 6.08 for Saburtalo. 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): Jagiellonia W-W-L; Saburtalo W-D-L-D.

The model expects goals

Under the hood the model expects 3.34 goals for Jagiellonia and 0.99 for Saburtalo. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Jagiellonia rate 0.79 in attack and 1.48 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Saburtalo rate 0.48 and 2.24.

That points to 81% for over two and a half goals and 61% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 3-0 (8%), 3-1 (8%), 2-0 (7%).
