The two sides

Rangers carry a model rating of 6.31 against 6.57 for Jagiellonia. 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): Rangers D-L; Jagiellonia W-W.

The model expects goals

Under the hood the model expects 1.82 goals for Rangers and 2.30 for Jagiellonia. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Rangers rate 0.66 in attack and 2.00 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Jagiellonia rate 0.82 and 1.46.

That points to 78% for over two and a half goals and 76% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 1-2 (8%), 1-1 (7%), 2-2 (7%).
