Two sides the ratings cannot separate
Southampton carry a model rating of 7 against 7.04 for Millwall. 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 1.41 goals for Southampton and 1.17 for Millwall. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
Southampton rate 0.98 in attack and 0.75 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Millwall rate 1.11 and 0.76.
That points to 47% for over two and a half goals and 53% for both teams to score.
The three most likely scorelines are 1-1 (13%), 1-0 (10%), 2-1 (9%).
