Model insights
The two sides
SK Beveren carry a model rating of 6.48 against 6.66 for Anderlecht. 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): Anderlecht D-W-W.
The model expects goals
Under the hood the model expects 1.96 goals for SK Beveren and 2.23 for Anderlecht. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
SK Beveren rate 0.87 in attack and 1.94 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Anderlecht rate 0.82 and 1.19.
That points to 79% for over two and a half goals and 77% for both teams to score.
The three most likely scorelines are 1-2 (7%), 2-2 (7%), 1-1 (7%).
