The two sides
Maccabi Haifa carry a model rating of 6.6 against 6.42 for Ironi Tiberias. 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.
What the model expects
Under the hood the model expects 2.06 goals for Maccabi Haifa and 1.08 for Ironi Tiberias. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
Maccabi Haifa rate 0.88 in attack and 1.47 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Ironi Tiberias rate 0.61 and 1.44.
