Top 3 by league goals this season. Player availability is not part of the model — injuries and suspensions are a planned improvement.

A clear gap in the ratings

Vasas carry a model rating of 6.99 against 6.15 for Zalaegerszegi TE. 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): Vasas D-D; Zalaegerszegi TE L-W.

The model expects goals

Under the hood the model expects 4.08 goals for Vasas and 0.57 for Zalaegerszegi TE. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Vasas rate 1.13 in attack and 0.86 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Zalaegerszegi TE rate 0.47 and 1.91.

That points to 84% for over two and a half goals and 43% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 4-0 (11%), 3-0 (11%), 5-0 (9%).

Where the model differs from the table

The table and the model disagree here: the standings favour Zalaegerszegi TE, while our numbers lean the other way. The model weights recent expected goals rather than results already banked, so it moves before the table does.
