Why the model favours this side
The model gives Slovenia the highest probability at 53%, based on each side's rolling attack and defence ratings estimated from recent match data. The model projects 0.64 expected goals for North Macedonia against 1.45 for Slovenia. North Macedonia's attack/defence rating is 0.58/1.17 versus the league average (1.00 = average), compared with 0.99/0.82 for Slovenia.
Uncalibrated. National-team ratings are anchored on the FIFA World Ranking, because these groups never play each other and nothing inside the results can compare them. The constants behind that anchor are declared, not fitted — too few national-team matches have been settled to test them — so treat this prediction as the weakest kind we publish. How the model works.
How the model reaches 53% for Slovenia to win
Start from two average sides on neutral ground: 36% for Slovenia to win. Then home advantage takes away 2 points, the level of the two sides takes away 2 points, North Macedonia's ratings add 9 points and Slovenia's ratings add 12 points, which lands on the published 53%.
