The small bars under each number are that side’s last six matches, 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 each side has actually done lately, home and away — a record, not a forecast.
Deportivo are more likely than not to avoid defeat, but it is close. The model sees around three goals in it.
Deportivo 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.
Chance of at least one goal before half-time: 74%
First-half numbers are our full-match forecast split by how much of each side's shooting and corners usually comes before the break. The small bars under each number are that side's last six first halves.
At half-time we update each side’s chance of scoring in the second half from what the first half showed.
Bawler's model rates this match: Deportivo are favoured (44% win probability vs 30% for Levante, 25% draw). The model uses each side’s expected goals, recent form and the strength of the opposition.
The most likely scoreline from Bawler's model is Deportivo 1-1 Levante (11.6% probability). Expected total goals: 3.0.
Bawler estimates each side's expected goals from its results and the quality of its chances, adjusted for the strength of the opposition and for home advantage, then works out the chance of every scoreline to get win, draw and both-teams-to-score probabilities. Team news and lineups are not built into these numbers. For this match that gives Deportivo 44%, the draw 25% and Levante 30%. Every prediction is published before kickoff and settled afterwards.
BTTS: Yes (60% probability) — both attacks should find the net. Based on home expected goals 1.68 and away expected goals 1.35.
Bawler's model gives a combined expected-goals total of 3.0. The lean is A slight lean to over 2.5.
