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

"Strasbourg's 0.47 expected-goals advantage and Emanuel Emegha's 24% of team xG creation power position the visitors to control play, yet Troyes' home setup keeps this competitive enough that Over 1.5 Goals at 81% is the model's highest-conviction call."
