Goals against chances
Expected goals totals what the openings were worth, so the gap between it and the score is the finishing — and the luck. Under half a goal either way is called level: xG is an estimate and a smaller gap than that is inside its own error.

Why the model favours this side
The model gives Hungary the highest probability at 44%, based on each side's rolling attack and defence ratings estimated from recent match data. The model projects 0.61 expected goals for Georgia against 1.06 for Hungary. Georgia's attack/defence rating is 0.67/0.81 versus the league average (1.00 = average), compared with 1.05/0.67 for Hungary.
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 44% for Hungary to win
Start from two average sides on neutral ground: 36% for Hungary to win. Then home advantage takes away 2 points, the level of the two sides takes away 3 points, Georgia's ratings add 5 points and Hungary's ratings add 8 points, which lands on the published 44%.
