The two sides
Kaizer Chiefs carry a model rating of 6.56 against 6.13 for Sekhukhune United. 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): Kaizer Chiefs W; Sekhukhune United W.
What the model expects
Under the hood the model expects 1.60 goals for Kaizer Chiefs and 0.57 for Sekhukhune United. 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; Sekhukhune United rate 0.41 and 1.76.
That points to 37% for over two and a half goals and 35% for both teams to score.
The three most likely scorelines are 1-0 (18%), 2-0 (15%), 0-0 (12%).
