Two sides the ratings cannot separate

Marumo Gallants carry a model rating of 6.1 against 6.24 for Siwelele. 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.

What the model expects

Under the hood the model expects 1.05 goals for Marumo Gallants and 1.10 for Siwelele. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Marumo Gallants rate 0.45 in attack and 2.03 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Siwelele rate 0.57 and 1.93.
