Our forecast for this match. The tick on each bar is that side’s average over their last six.
Each row is drawn on one scale, so a bar means the same length on both sides. Second-half goals are our full-match forecast minus our first half.
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 each side has actually done lately, home and away — a record, not a forecast.
Ranked by our probability, strongest first — our three strongest above the line.
FC Porto should get at least a draw here. They have won five of their last six, and the model expects them to create around half a goal more per game than PSV Eindhoven. The model sees around three goals in it.
FC Porto 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: 81%
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 most recent first halves (up to six).
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: FC Porto are favoured (55% win probability vs 22% for PSV Eindhoven, 23% 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 FC Porto 1-1 PSV Eindhoven (10.6% probability). Expected total goals: 3.1.
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 FC Porto 55%, the draw 23% and PSV Eindhoven 22%. Every prediction is published before kickoff and settled afterwards.
Probably — Bawler's model gives both teams scoring a 59% chance. That is based on FC Porto expecting 1.97 goals and PSV Eindhoven 1.17.
Bawler's model expects 3.1 goals in total. It leans towards three or more goals: over 2.5 goals is 61%.
