Fiji vs Solomon Islands
Our model puts a Fiji win at 58.8% in this Int: Friendly fixture — a moderate lean. Expected goals run 1.85 to 0.92.
Evenly rated
There is almost nothing between these two on rating — 1515 against 1488, a gap of 27 points. Fixtures this evenly matched are where a model has least to say: the probabilities below are honest, but they are close to a coin weighted only slightly.
A high-scoring home side
One model here does nothing but estimate how likely the home side is to score four goals or more, and on this fixture it reads 76%. Across our settled fixtures that happens about 8% of the time, so this is well above ordinary. It says nothing about who wins — a side can score four and still be caught — but a match where one team is expected to run up a total is one where the scoreline is much harder to call than the result.
