Ratings are our own 0-99 scale, built only from results data: ATT = 65 + 30 × log2(attack index), DEF = 65 − 30 × log2(defence index) (index 1.00 = competition average), FRM = 30 + 69 × points from the last 5 games ÷ 15, ELO = 60 + (Elo − 1500) ÷ 9, OVR = 30% ATT + 30% DEF + 20% FRM + 20% ELO. Each is capped to 1-99. The Manager style shows the same numbers on a 1-20 scale (rating ÷ 99 × 20). Ratings use only games before kick-off. Educational analysis, not betting advice.

Man Utd (21st, 3 pts from 3) host AS Roma (15th, 4 pts from 3) in the Champions League table as it stands. Man Utd have scored 5 and conceded 6 in 3 Champions League games (1.7 and 2.0 per game). AS Roma have scored 8 and conceded 5 in 3 Champions League games (2.7 and 1.7 per game). Recent form across all competitions (oldest to newest): Man Utd LDLLL, AS Roma WWDWW. In the last 5 meetings on record, Man Utd won 4, AS Roma won 1 and 0 were drawn. The goals model expects about 2.1–1.8. Man Utd are slight favorites: Man Utd 44%, draw 21%, AS Roma 35%. The single most likely score is 2–1, but even that only has a 8% chance. Elo ratings (Man Utd 1575, AS Roma 1708) give Man Utd an expected score of 40%, which disagrees with the goals model. Small sample warning: one side has only 3 Champions League games this season, so these numbers lean heavily on competition averages.
Expected goals (model): Man Utd 2.06 · AS Roma 1.81 · most likely score 2–1 (8%).
Method: Poisson. Baseline home 2.50 / away 1.59 goals per game from 54 Champions League games (this season). Expected goals = baseline × attack × opponent defence. Elo cross-check: Man Utd expected score 40%. Full method.
