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

"Burnley's 0.60 expected-goals advantage and Zian Flemming's 32% of team creation power make the Burnley or draw forecast (77% confidence) the model's clearest call, with home unbeaten as the likeliest outcome."
