Southampton vs Middlesbrough

Bawler runs a Poisson model on rolling xG, normalised across leagues, adjusted for venue and injuries. This page shows the full chain — every number you can see is one we used.

Why the model calls it this way

Southampton's superior xG (1.72 vs 1.56) and 77% Over 1.5 Goals probability justify backing goals despite tight playoff pressure equalizing both sides' desperation.
