The two sides

St. Truiden carry a model rating of 6.76 against 6.98 for Union St. Gilloise. 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): St. Truiden D-D; Union St. Gilloise W-D.

The model expects goals

Under the hood the model expects 1.65 goals for St. Truiden and 1.94 for Union St. Gilloise. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

St. Truiden rate 1.04 in attack and 1.27 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Union St. Gilloise rate 1.09 and 0.84.

That points to 70% for over two and a half goals and 70% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 1-1 (9%), 1-2 (9%), 2-1 (7%).
