The two sides
Rapid carry a model rating of 6.87 against 6.72 for Dinamo Bucuresti. 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): Rapid W-D-W-D; Dinamo Bucuresti L-W-D-W.
The model expects goals
Under the hood the model expects 2.17 goals for Rapid and 1.18 for Dinamo Bucuresti. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
Rapid rate 1.00 in attack and 0.96 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Dinamo Bucuresti rate 0.88 and 1.15.
That points to 65% for over two and a half goals and 62% for both teams to score.
The three most likely scorelines are 2-1 (10%), 1-1 (9%), 2-0 (8%).
