Where the model differs from the table

The table and the model disagree here: the standings favour Tromso (6th, with Sandefjord 13th), while our numbers lean to Sandefjord. Sandefjord rate 0.67 in attack and 1.22 in defence, Tromso 0.71 and 1.27 (lower is better in defence), so Sandefjord have been the better side in defence on recent expected goals, which the 12-point gap in the table does not yet show. Playing at home adds the rest.

Why the model favours this side

The model projects 1.54 expected goals for Sandefjord against 1.25 for Tromso.
