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

"Genoa's superior shot-creation edge (1.30 xG vs 1.10) and 40% win probability over Parma's 31% makes a Parma draw-or-loss forecast the high-confidence call."
