What Hacker News says?
The same author does seem to go on and build a slightly more realistic Dixon-Coles model: https://dashee87.github.io/football/python/predicting-footba... But even that is very dated - one of the authors, Stuart Coles has worked at a gambling syndicate for many years. They at the very least incorporate expected goals into the model, but no doubt have all sorts of esoteric models by now.
