Summary

The goals model points to a tighter game: Over 2.5 goals is rated at only 30% on about 1.9 expected goals, while both teams scoring is rated below even (40%). The most likely single scoreline is 0:0 at 15%, which shows how thinly probability spreads in one match.

How far to trust this

One match is a very small sample. Even a well-calibrated model is wrong about individual games most of the time, and ours has not been shown to be better than bookmaker prices. Our measured results, including losses, are on the prediction accuracy page and every settled pick is in the public pick log.
