The two sides

Union St. Gilloise carry a model rating of 7.01 against 6.71 for Anderlecht. 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): Union St. Gilloise W-D; Anderlecht W.

What the model expects

Under the hood the model expects 2.15 goals for Union St. Gilloise and 0.89 for Anderlecht. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Union St. Gilloise rate 0.98 in attack and 0.73 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Anderlecht rate 0.87 and 1.16.

That points to 59% for over two and a half goals and 52% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 2-0 (11%), 1-0 (10%), 2-1 (10%).
