The two sides

Valerenga carry a model rating of 6.43 against 6.86 for Bodo/Glimt. 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): Valerenga W-L-W-W-L; Bodo/Glimt W-W-W-W-W.

The model expects goals

Under the hood the model expects 1.27 goals for Valerenga and 2.24 for Bodo/Glimt. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Valerenga rate 0.72 in attack and 1.70 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Bodo/Glimt rate 0.94 and 0.93.

That points to 68% for over two and a half goals and 65% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 1-2 (10%), 1-1 (9%), 0-2 (8%).

The rest of the season

Across the rest of the season our simulation gives Valerenga a 0% chance of the title and Bodo/Glimt 63.7%, from 10000 simulated seasons.
