13 matches is a small sample — these averages are noisy and should not be read as a tendency.
This is a prediction, not a guarantee; a probability is not a certainty.
These sentences are built by a fixed template; every number in them comes straight from the model's computation, none invented while the text was written.
When the model has said 55–60% in the past, 1,696 of 2,854 predictions were correct (59.4%). Accuracy record →
These three values add up to 200%, not 100% — and that is not a mistake. The options are not mutually exclusive; every outcome is counted in two of them. For the same reason 1X plus X2 exceeds 100% by exactly the probability of a draw (26.1%).
Expected goals comes out of a team's attack weighed against its opponent's defence. A strong attack is damped when it meets a strong defence — which is why comparing the ratings on their own is misleading.
Attack: Luxembourg score below the league average (40% fewer).
Opponent's defence: Malta concede 55% more than the league average — the defence is the weakest link in this match.
Attack: Malta score below the league average (49% fewer).
Opponent's defence: Luxembourg's defence is close to the league average (1.07×), so it doesn't move the expectation much.
Ratings were computed from 5520 matches played in this league before kick-off; the team with fewer has 84 matches. No data from after the match was used. The model's track record is published unfiltered.
