Written before kick-off and left as it stood — the reading below is the model's pre-match case, not a view formed after the result.

The two sides

Wuhan Three Towns carry a model rating of 6.35 against 6.1 for Henan Jianye. 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 2.20 goals for Wuhan Three Towns and 1.00 for Henan Jianye. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Wuhan Three Towns rate 0.69 in attack and 1.93 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Henan Jianye rate 0.43 and 1.96.

Where the model differs from the table

The table and the model disagree here: the standings favour Henan Jianye, 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.

How this was produced
