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.

Pre-game analysis

NEC (20th, 4 pts from 3) host Omonia (11th, 6 pts from 3) in the Europa League table as it stands. NEC have scored 5 and conceded 8 in 3 Europa League games (1.7 and 2.7 per game). Omonia have scored 5 and conceded 4 in 3 Europa League games (1.7 and 1.3 per game). Recent form across all competitions (oldest to newest): NEC DDWDL, Omonia LWWWL. The goals model expects about 1.5–2.2. Omonia are clear favorites: NEC 25%, draw 20%, Omonia 55%. The single most likely score is 1–2, but even that only has a 9% chance. Elo ratings (NEC 1537, Omonia 1497) give NEC an expected score of 64%, which disagrees with the goals model. Small sample warning: one side has only 3 Europa League games this season, so these numbers lean heavily on competition averages.
