Two sides the ratings cannot separate
Rodez carry a model rating of 6.85 against 6.7 for Laval. 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.
What the model expects
Under the hood the model expects 1.65 goals for Rodez and 0.80 for Laval. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
Rodez rate 0.99 in attack and 0.99 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Laval rate 0.58 and 0.88.
That points to 44% for over two and a half goals and 45% for both teams to score.
The three most likely scorelines are 1-0 (14%), 1-1 (12%), 2-0 (12%).
