Team B will loose always if attends, if do not, the oppo A will need to attend to get a posible win... and this gives you a simple explanation of how the force is distributed depending on the variables that the game uses to create the scenarios, which are rating variations of players to do a simplification of the team, for each game so players have different rating behavious, like 7-5-7-6-7 10-10-9-8-10 (here and always 9-10 is the same value, as is the max rating and means the same 9 or 10) so the engine will create unique scenarios selecting few players and then depending on the variations, they will improve or play worst than the previous game.
As I explain somewhere you can force a drop of ratings, intentionally to get a push for a upcoming game.

Then the game have some dozens of scenario conditionants that are always in on-off so, condition at 0% matters or not (on-off. morale on-off, win bonus on-off. and like this for all conditionants, which determine the weight of that starting value that the teams have in terms of chances (power team A 5-7 / B 3-6) meaning this number the variables selected by the engine + how far can reach your team in terms of chances compared with the opponent once the engine converts the pre-determined factors in available animations to resolve the games.

Try always to understand the engine behaviour, and play in its favour because the game needs a system to work, and there is no other way to interpret this.
Sorry but the matches are scripted no matter what you say especially in the league were certain results in other matches are needed so a match like 1st v 2nd can decide the outcome of final league table the scripted matches never happen if you have a team 7pts clear at the top with two matches left but if the top two are separated by 2 pts you almost certainly see a scripted pair of results for the two teams just so the last matches have a meaning
