⇄ Why the estimates differ

The model sees the two sides as almost level, while the bookmaker median puts the away side clearly ahead. The data offers a few things that could account for part of that.

Inter Club d'Escaldes have results that look better than their underlying numbers. They have scored eight and conceded four in four matches, yet their expected goals per match are low at the attacking end and high at the defensive end. Universitatea Craiova have a more balanced profile, with a mostly drawn recent run. A model that gives weight to actual results would see the home side as closer to Craiova than one that leans on chance quality.

Craiova also have nine players listed as injured or suspended. How much that should weigh is unclear, and the data doesn't show how either estimate treats it. Line-ups haven't been announced, so the real impact is uncertain. Craiova's season record covers only one match, which leaves little to compare. Beyond these points, the data doesn't show a clear reason for the full size of the gap.

Gap of 27.1 percentage points, and the two estimates favour different outcomes.
