What we expect
In plain English
Barcelona should get at least a draw here. They have won six of their last six, and the model expects them to create about a goal more per game than Galatasaray. Expect goals: the model sees around four.
What would change the call
Barcelona 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.
