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

"PSG defends a four-point title lead at home against a Monaco side chasing European qualification, and the 2.49 xG advantage makes a Paris win the model's 68% call."
