Two sides the ratings cannot separate

Karlsruher SC carry a model rating of 6.91 against 6.94 for Arminia Bielefeld. 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.

The model expects goals

Under the hood the model expects 2.22 goals for Karlsruher SC and 1.72 for Arminia Bielefeld. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Karlsruher SC rate 1.11 in attack and 0.99 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Arminia Bielefeld rate 1.24 and 1.06.

That points to 75% for over two and a half goals and 74% for both teams to score.

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