The two sides

Twente carry a model rating of 6.88 against 6.57 for PEC Zwolle. 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): Twente L; PEC Zwolle L.

The model expects goals

Under the hood the model expects 2.51 goals for Twente and 1.01 for PEC Zwolle. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Twente rate 0.99 in attack and 0.94 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; PEC Zwolle rate 0.77 and 1.34.

That points to 68% for over two and a half goals and 59% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 2-1 (9%), 2-0 (9%), 1-1 (8%).
