The two sides
Wuhan Three Towns carry a model rating of 6.44 against 6.21 for SHANGHAI SIPG. 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.
Recent form (most recent last): Wuhan Three Towns L-L-W-W-D; SHANGHAI SIPG L-D-W-L-W.
The model expects goals
Under the hood the model expects 2.27 goals for Wuhan Three Towns and 1.08 for SHANGHAI SIPG. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
Wuhan Three Towns rate 0.57 in attack and 1.33 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; SHANGHAI SIPG rate 0.58 and 2.11.
That points to 65% for over two and a half goals and 60% for both teams to score.
The three most likely scorelines are 2-1 (10%), 2-0 (9%), 1-1 (9%).
Where the model differs from the table
The table and the model disagree here: the standings favour SHANGHAI SIPG, 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.
