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

"Torreense's 0.64 expected-goals advantage and 52% win probability make Torreense or draw the model's high-confidence call, with Jonathan David's creative load insufficient to overcome the away side's attacking edge."
