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

Two sides the ratings cannot separate

Mariehamn carry a model rating of 5.8 against 5.86 for FF Jaro. 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.

Recent form (most recent last): Mariehamn L-D-L-L-W; FF Jaro D-W-L-L-L.

What the model expects

Under the hood the model expects 1.34 goals for Mariehamn and 1.11 for FF Jaro. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Mariehamn rate 0.30 in attack and 2.48 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; FF Jaro rate 0.32 and 2.36.

That points to 44% for over two and a half goals and 50% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 1-1 (13%), 1-0 (11%), 0-0 (9%).

Where the model differs from the table

The table and the model disagree here: the standings favour FF Jaro, 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.
