A clear gap in the ratings
Richards Bay carry a model rating of 5.9 against 6.44 for Kaizer Chiefs. 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): Richards Bay L-D; Kaizer Chiefs W.
What the model expects
Under the hood the model expects 0.96 goals for Richards Bay and 2.07 for Kaizer Chiefs. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
Richards Bay rate 0.38 in attack and 2.55 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Kaizer Chiefs rate 0.58 and 1.34.
That points to 58% for over two and a half goals and 54% for both teams to score.
The three most likely scorelines are 0-2 (10%), 1-1 (10%), 1-2 (10%).
