Top 3 by league goals this season. Player availability is not part of the model — injuries and suspensions are a planned improvement.

The two sides

Lillestrom carry a model rating of 6.49 against 6.67 for Rosenborg. 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): Lillestrom L-W-W-L-L; Rosenborg D-W-W-W-L.

The model expects goals

Under the hood the model expects 1.59 goals for Lillestrom and 1.69 for Rosenborg. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Lillestrom rate 0.62 in attack and 1.30 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Rosenborg rate 0.93 and 1.36.

That points to 64% for over two and a half goals and 66% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 1-1 (11%), 1-2 (9%), 2-1 (8%).

Where the model differs from the table

The table and the model disagree here: the standings favour Lillestrom, while our numbers lean the other way. The model weights recent expected goals rather than results already banked, so it moves before the table does.

How this was produced
