The most likely scoreline is simply the darkest cell inside whichever area the model favours.

Where the two sides stand. Full table
Two sides the ratings cannot separate
Velez Sarsfield carry a model rating of 6.64 against 6.6 for Platense. 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.
A gap that small is inside the noise of the rating itself — treat the two as level.
What the model expects
