Two sides the ratings cannot separate

SV Elversberg carry a model rating of 7.12 against 6.99 for Bayer Leverkusen. 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.

The model expects goals

Under the hood the model expects 2.26 goals for SV Elversberg and 1.28 for Bayer Leverkusen. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

SV Elversberg rate 1.16 in attack and 0.69 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Bayer Leverkusen rate 1.33 and 1.03.

That points to 69% for over two and a half goals and 65% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 2-1 (9%), 1-1 (9%), 2-0 (7%).
