Where the two sides stand. Full table

The two sides

Riga carry a model rating of 6.13 against 6.61 for FK Jablonec. 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.

What the model expects

Under the hood the model expects 1.09 goals for Riga and 1.99 for FK Jablonec. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Riga rate 0.50 in attack and 2.12 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; FK Jablonec rate 0.78 and 1.26.

Where the model differs from the table

The table and the model disagree here: the standings favour Riga, 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.

How this was produced
