Two sides the ratings cannot separate
Polokwane City carry a model rating of 6.28 against 6.17 for TS Galaxy. 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.
The model expects a tight, low-scoring game
Under the hood the model expects 1.22 goals for Polokwane City and 0.78 for TS Galaxy. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
Polokwane City rate 0.51 in attack and 1.60 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; TS Galaxy rate 0.51 and 1.99.
