Belgium vs Senegal

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

Why the model calls it this way

Over 2.5 Goals sits at 74% because Belgium's 1.79 xG advantage and Lukaku's 22% team-shot creation outweigh Senegal's 1.06 xG, forcing high-volume attacking play from the home side.
