Each side's share of the two-team total. How to read this.

Why the model favours this side

The model gives Faroe Islands the highest probability at 47%, based on each side's rolling attack and defence ratings estimated from recent match data. The model projects 1.52 expected goals for Faroe Islands against 0.94 for Moldova. Faroe Islands's attack/defence rating is 0.75/1.21 versus the league average (1.00 = average), compared with 0.62/1.5 for Moldova.

How national teams are rated. National-team ratings are anchored on the FIFA World Ranking, because these groups never play each other and nothing inside the results can compare them. The constants behind that anchor are declared, not fitted, and not yet calibrated: too few national-team matches have been settled to test them — so this prediction rests on less evidence than our club predictions. How the model works.

How the model reaches 47% for Faroe Islands to win

Start from two average sides on neutral ground: 36% for Faroe Islands to win. Then home advantage adds 2 points, the level of the two sides takes away 1 point, Faroe Islands's ratings add 5 points and Moldova's ratings add 5 points, which lands on the published 47%.

  1. Two average sides, neutral ground36%
  2. Home advantage38%+2
  3. Both sides at this match's level37%−1
  4. Faroe Islands's ratings42%+5
  5. Moldova's ratings47%+5
