What we expect · full match
How to read this
The small bars under each number are that side’s most recent matches (up to six), home and away, against opponents of mixed strength, oldest on the left; the dashed line is the number we expect. Our forecast is for this opponent at this ground, so a favourite’s recent numbers often sit below it and an underdog’s above it.

What we expect
In plain English
AC Milan are more likely than not to avoid defeat, but it is close. Atalanta have won three of the last five between them. The model sees around three goals in it.
What would change the call
AC Milan or draw, priced again from the same expected goals if the match reaches these states.
Each row is the call re-priced for that scoreline at half-time. Lineups are not in it — we publish per-player shooting rates, not a squad-strength number, so what a rested front three does to this figure is not something we can honestly put a number on.

Second half — who scores?
At half-time we update each side’s chance of scoring in the second half from what the first half showed.
