Two sides the ratings cannot separate
Olympique Akbou carry a model rating of 6.28 against 6.36 for JS Kabylie. 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

Where the model differs from the table
The table and the model disagree here: the standings favour JS Kabylie, 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.
