Two sides the ratings cannot separate
Osasuna carry a model rating of 6.83 against 6.85 for Rayo Vallecano. 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 1.71 goals for Osasuna and 1.32 for Rayo Vallecano. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
Osasuna rate 0.98 in attack and 1.02 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Rayo Vallecano rate 1.07 and 1.07.
How this was produced
Publicly tracked record so far: 1151 correct results out of 2437 settled predictions (47%), with 230 exact scorelines (9%). That log is updated automatically after every match and is never edited.

From the first whistle this page keeps going: the win probabilities at the top are recalculated as the match plays out, reading the score, the clock and any sendings-off. The same model, asked how many goals are left rather than how many there will be.
