The two sides

Venezia carry a model rating of 7.16 against 6.74 for Lecce. 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.

The model expects goals

Under the hood the model expects 2.83 goals for Venezia and 0.91 for Lecce. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Venezia rate 1.36 in attack and 0.73 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Lecce rate 0.89 and 1.10.

That points to 72% for over two and a half goals and 56% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 2-0 (10%), 3-0 (9%), 2-1 (9%).
