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

"Over 1.5 Goals is the high-confidence call at 84%, driven by Lens's 0.33 xG advantage and 45% win probability suggesting they'll generate enough attacking threat to push this fixture beyond a single goal."
