What we expect
In plain English
Fiji should win this one. The model expects them to create about a goal more per game than Papua New Guinea. Expect goals: the model sees around three.
What would change the call
Fiji to win, 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.
