The two sides

Omonia Nicosia carry a model rating of 6.61 against 6.19 for Lincoln Red Imps FC. 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.

Recent form (most recent last): Omonia Nicosia W; Lincoln Red Imps FC W-D-L-D.

The model expects goals

Under the hood the model expects 3.23 goals for Omonia Nicosia and 1.04 for Lincoln Red Imps FC. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

That points to 80% for over two and a half goals and 62% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 3-1 (8%), 3-0 (8%), 2-1 (8%).
