Why the model leans this way
Crystal Palace

Chelsea
Attack ranks #3, defence #12. Expected goals in this fixture: 1.23–2.25.

Ratings are fitted on three seasons of expected goals with time decay, refreshed after every match, and blended with the betting market where prices exist (pl-dc-v2). Availability of key attackers adjusts goal rates before kickoff.
