Warnings

  • SV 07 Elversberg has only 4 matches in the database. Below 10 matches the estimate is very unreliable.
  • FC Schalke 04 has only 4 matches in the database. Below 10 matches the estimate is very unreliable.

Limitations

The model reads expected goals and nothing else. It does not know the lineups, who is injured or suspended, what either side has to play for, the weather, or how congested the schedule around this match is.
