The two sides

Paks carry a model rating of 6.64 against 6.3 for Budapest Honved. 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): Paks W-L; Budapest Honved D-D.

The model expects goals

Under the hood the model expects 3.75 goals for Paks and 1.55 for Budapest Honved. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Paks rate 1.06 in attack and 1.79 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Budapest Honved rate 0.62 and 1.87.

That points to 90% for over two and a half goals and 77% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 3-1 (7%), 4-1 (6%), 2-1 (6%).
