The two sides

West Brom carry a model rating of 6.98 against 6.66 for Burnley. 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.

What the model expects

Under the hood the model expects 1.83 goals for West Brom and 0.71 for Burnley. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

West Brom rate 0.94 in attack and 0.75 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Burnley rate 0.68 and 1.03.

That points to 47% for over two and a half goals and 43% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 1-0 (14%), 2-0 (13%), 1-1 (11%).
