Where the two sides stand. Full tables
The two sides
Platense carry a model rating of 6.47 against 6.84 for Deportivo Riestra. 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): Platense D-L-L-W-D; Deportivo Riestra L-L-W-L-D.
What the model expects
Under the hood the model expects 1.04 goals for Platense and 1.51 for Deportivo Riestra. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
Platense rate 0.68 in attack and 1.44 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Deportivo Riestra rate 0.75 and 0.81.
That points to 47% for over two and a half goals and 51% for both teams to score.
The three most likely scorelines are 1-1 (13%), 0-1 (11%), 1-2 (9%).
Where the model differs from the table
The table and the model disagree here: the standings favour Platense, 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.
