What the model expects
Under the hood the model expects 1.08 goals for Kaizer Chiefs and 1.43 for Mamelodi Sundowns. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
Kaizer Chiefs rate 0.48 in attack and 0.99 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Mamelodi Sundowns rate 1.03 and 1.19.
That points to 46% for over two and a half goals and 51% for both teams to score.
The three most likely scorelines are 1-1 (13%), 0-1 (11%), 1-2 (9%).
