What would change the call

Portugal or draw, priced again from the same expected goals if the match reaches these states.

Portugal lead 1–0 at half-time74%94%
Goalless at half-time74%77%

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.
