⇄ Why the estimates differ

Both sources make Bayern München the favourite, but the market sees a much larger gap between the sides than the model does. Several things in the data point in that direction without settling it. Viking have seven players listed as injured against two for Bayern, and line-ups are not yet announced, so how much that matters is unclear. Bayern's recent results include heavy wins, and their expected goals per match are high at the front and low at the back. Viking's expected goals conceded exceed what they create. A market leaning heavily on this recent form would separate the teams more sharply.

The samples are small, though: Viking have played three matches this season and Bayern one. A model that treats such short runs more cautiously would narrow the distance. The data does not show how either side weighs these inputs, so this remains a description of differences, not a full account of the gap.

Gap of 32.3 percentage points.
