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 projects at 78% because both sides generate similar attacking threat (Standard 1.48 xG, Antwerp 1.37), leaving neither defense commanding enough to suppress a multi-goal result."
