From our Premier League season simulation: the rest of the season played out 10,000 times by the same model as the prediction above. Each figure is that side's chance once this match ends in a win, a draw or a defeat for it, with every other match still left to the model. Positions in the table, not competition rules: what a place is worth differs from league to league.

Two sides the ratings cannot separate

Zorya Luhansk carry a model rating of 6.42 against 6.28 for Epitsentr Dunayivtsi. 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 2.00 goals for Zorya Luhansk and 1.11 for Epitsentr Dunayivtsi. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Zorya Luhansk rate 0.71 in attack and 1.68 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Epitsentr Dunayivtsi rate 0.55 and 1.73.
