Two sides the ratings cannot separate
MC Alger carry a model rating of 6.5 against 6.4 for MC Oran. 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 1.35 goals for MC Alger and 0.80 for MC Oran. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
MC Alger rate 0.62 in attack and 1.26 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; MC Oran rate 0.53 and 1.34.
Where the model differs from the table
The table and the model disagree here: the standings favour MC Oran, 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.
