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

"Over 1.5 Goals is the high-confidence forecast (83%) because Como's 1.97 expected goals and 0.74 xG advantage suggests multiple chances will materialize against Leipzig's 1.23 xG output."
