Why the model favours this outcome
The model expects fewer away goals given Manchester City FC's home defensive numbers. Recent results also favour Manchester City FC, whose points-per-match rate over the last five games is above average. Sample size is still small this season, so the model leans more heavily on longer-term ratings and lowers its confidence accordingly.
