⇄ Why the estimates differ

The model gives Pafos a modest edge and leaves Riga a fairly live chance, while the bookmakers lean much more heavily toward the home side. The data points in a few directions. Pafos have a long absence list, with five injured and one suspended, including a goalkeeper, and their chances created and conceded per match are close to even (1.5 for, 1.82 against). Their recent results are mixed, with two draws, two defeats and one win. Riga's underlying numbers are stronger, with expected goals of 2.66 for and 1.24 against, and they are unbeaten in seven games. Their sample is also larger than Pafos's three. A model weighting those expected-goals figures and the injuries would sit closer to the middle. A market weighting home advantage more heavily would sit further toward Pafos. The data doesn't show how either side weights these factors, and line-ups aren't announced yet, so the data can't settle the size of the gap.

Gap of 10.1 percentage points.
