Two sides the ratings cannot separate

Leeds carry a model rating of 6.89 against 6.84 for Brentford. 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 2.37 goals for Leeds and 1.60 for Brentford. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Leeds rate 1.16 in attack and 1.08 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Brentford rate 1.06 and 1.08.

That points to 76% for over two and a half goals and 73% for both teams to score.

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