A clear gap in the ratings

Tromso carry a model rating of 6.51 against 7.05 for Brighton. 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): Tromso D-D-W-W-W.

The model expects goals

Under the hood the model expects 1.03 goals for Tromso and 2.23 for Brighton. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Tromso rate 0.69 in attack and 1.36 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Brighton rate 1.17 and 0.79.

That points to 63% for over two and a half goals and 58% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 1-2 (10%), 0-2 (10%), 1-1 (9%).
