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

"Braga's superior chance creation (1.32 xG vs 1.08) and 41% win probability edge make the Braga or draw forecast the model's high-confidence call despite Santa Clara's home advantage."
