The two sides
Utrecht carry a model rating of 6.84 against 7.04 for PSV Eindhoven. 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): Utrecht L-L; PSV Eindhoven D-W.
The model expects goals
Under the hood the model expects 1.56 goals for Utrecht and 1.72 for PSV Eindhoven. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
Utrecht rate 0.98 in attack and 1.00 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; PSV Eindhoven rate 1.23 and 0.84.
That points to 64% for over two and a half goals and 65% for both teams to score.
The three most likely scorelines are 1-1 (11%), 1-2 (9%), 2-1 (8%).
