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

"Olympiacos' 0.75 expected-goals advantage and 54% win probability make Olympiacos or draw (home win or draw) the high-confidence forecast at 79%, reflecting the visitor's limited attacking threat despite home-ground intensity."
