How this works
Before the numbers, the caveat: 3 rated matches behind Iran. On that base the model returns 1510 against 1502 and a 37.3% / 27.7% / 35.0% split.
In absolute terms: Egypt 1.05/1.02, Iran 0.95/0.95 on attack and defence. Of the 4,449 teams carrying a rating, these two are 1262th and 1495th. A 3-match base for Iran. Scorelines above 8%: 5. The three outcomes sit within 9.6 points of each other — an unusually flat distribution. Spread thin across outcomes, 1-1 highest at 12.4%. No home advantage is applied — the tie is played at a neutral venue. By share of the rated field: 28.4% and 33.6%. Rating separation comes to 8 points. A 233-place difference in ranking. Someone wins 72.3% of the time by this model. Note the ratings are live, not frozen at kickoff. One half each — Egypt in front on 1.05, Iran behind on 0.95. Point estimate: 1-1. Most likely single result is Egypt on 37.3%. Final score: 1-1. Goal expectation splits 1.35 to 1.31. The top two outcomes are within 2.3 points of each other, which is inside the range where the model is not really choosing.
