Each pick's figure is the one published with it before kickoff. It comes from a separate calculation, so a pick on the result can show a different number from the win/draw/win split above.

What we said pre-match

"Braga's 0.83 xG advantage and 56% win probability make Braga or draw the model's high-confidence call, with Roger Fernandes's wing creation (22% of team xG) the key attacking outlet against a Vienna side generating just 1.02 expected goals."
