Why the model favours this outcome

Home scoring numbers favour Arsenal FC, who have created goals at an above-average rate in front of their own crowd. Arsenal FC's home defensive record is tighter than the competition average, which suppresses the away goal expectation. Combined attacking and defensive numbers point toward a higher-scoring game than average. Recent results also favour Arsenal FC, whose points-per-match rate over the last five games is above average.
