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 sits at 84% because Barcelona's 2.04 xG and Levante's 1.26 xG (0.78-goal gap) points to a match where Lamine Yamal and Robert Lewandowski should find space in a naturally open fixture."
