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.

Sunderland have scored 4 and conceded 2 in 3 Europa League games (1.3 and 0.7 per game). Dinamo Zagreb have scored 3 and conceded 4 in 3 Europa League games (1.0 and 1.3 per game). Recent form across all competitions (oldest to newest): Sunderland LDDWL, Dinamo Zagreb DLDWL. The goals model expects about 1.3–0.9. Sunderland are slight favorites: Sunderland 45%, draw 28%, Dinamo Zagreb 27%. The single most likely score is 1–0, but even that only has a 14% chance. Elo ratings (Sunderland 1500, Dinamo Zagreb 1469) give Sunderland an expected score of 63%, which agrees 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.
