The two sides

Twente carry a model rating of 6.91 against 6.75 for Pafos. 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.

What the model expects

Under the hood the model expects 1.58 goals for Twente and 0.80 for Pafos. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Twente rate 0.93 in attack and 0.84 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Pafos rate 0.79 and 0.98.

Each side's next matches on our board after this one. The colour is how strong the opponent is, from easier to harder as on the scale above: its model rating ranked among the teams of that competition, in fifths, so bright red is the top fifth whoever is playing it. The win figure is this side's own chance in that match, which is where venue and its own level come in. A match already on our board links to its own prediction; the rest follow as their week comes up.
