Two sides the ratings cannot separate
VfL Osnabrück carry a model rating of 6.42 against 6.44 for SpVgg Greuther Fürth. 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
Under the hood the model expects 1.71 goals for VfL Osnabrück and 1.48 for SpVgg Greuther Fürth. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
VfL Osnabrück rate 0.66 in attack and 1.57 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; SpVgg Greuther Fürth rate 0.66 and 1.50.
The rest of the season
Across the rest of the season our simulation gives VfL Osnabrück a 0.1% chance of the title and SpVgg Greuther Fürth 0.1%, from 10,000 simulated seasons.
