The result model puts Gyori ETO FC at 27%, the draw at 21% and Riga at 51%, from expected goals of 1.44 and 2.04.
The league sets the starting point. Conference League has produced over 2.5 goals in 54% of its matches, and that is where a team with no record of its own would sit.
Each side's own record. Gyori ETO FC have 2 in 2 this season (1 of 1 at home), Riga 21 in 25 (9 of 11 away). Those records are pulled toward the league rate with the weight of about 32 matches — enough that two or three unusual games cannot swing a rating — giving 58% and 69%.
Last season still counts, briefly. With 2 and 25 games played this season, last season's rates are still blended in and fade out entirely by game 14 — the point at which our testing showed they stop adding accuracy. That moves the two figures to 50% and 69%.
The mix. Weighted 40% home side, 40% away side and 20% league — the split that beat every alternative across 30,582 matches of testing — that gives 58%.
Goal expectation. Separately a Poisson model built from attack and defence strength — using real expected-goals data where the league has it — puts this match at 68%, from expected goals of 1.44 for Gyori ETO FC and 2.04 for Riga. Folding in 30% of that view gives 61%.
This breakdown is generated from the same inputs the rating uses, so it cannot describe a calculation we did not perform. The full model is set out in the methodology.
