The two sides
Uta Arad carry a model rating of 6.36 against 6.8 for Rapid. 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): Uta Arad L-D-L; Rapid W-D-W.
What the model expects
Under the hood the model expects 0.92 goals for Uta Arad and 1.78 for Rapid. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
Uta Arad rate 0.44 in attack and 1.27 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Rapid rate 1.00 and 1.11.
That points to 51% for over two and a half goals and 51% for both teams to score.
The three most likely scorelines are 1-1 (12%), 0-1 (11%), 0-2 (11%).
