⇄ Why the estimates differ

The market estimate leans more strongly toward AC Milan because the supplied results show a clear season-level difference: Milan are unbeaten after eight matches, sit fourth, and have scored 16 goals, while Bologna sit 13th with two wins, four defeats, and eight goals. Recent head-to-head results also favour Milan, with three wins in the last four meetings, including both of the most recent matches.

The model estimate may be less pronounced because the underlying performance figures are closer than the table and results suggest. Milan’s expected goals for and against rates are 1.72 and 1.21, compared with Bologna’s 1.36 and 1.22, so the defensive difference is minimal and the attacking difference is moderate. Milan also have ten unavailable players, while Bologna have seven, and Milan’s recent away defeat by AFC Bournemouth adds a less favourable result to their otherwise strong recent sequence.

Gap of 9.8 percentage points.
