Two sides the ratings cannot separate
Viborg carry a model rating of 6.59 against 6.66 for FC Copenhagen. 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.
Recent form (most recent last): Viborg W-L-D; FC Copenhagen W-W.
The model expects goals
Under the hood the model expects 1.78 goals for Viborg and 1.52 for FC Copenhagen. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
Viborg rate 0.82 in attack and 1.39 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; FC Copenhagen rate 0.78 and 1.15.
That points to 64% for over two and a half goals and 65% for both teams to score.
The three most likely scorelines are 1-1 (10%), 2-1 (9%), 1-2 (8%).
Where the model differs from the table
The table and the model disagree here: the standings favour FC Copenhagen, 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.
