Each pick's figure is the one published with it before kickoff. It comes from a separate calculation, so a pick on the result can show a different number from the win/draw/win split above.

What we said pre-match

"Germany's Home Win is the overwhelming forecast here, built on a 3.25 expected-goals advantage and Wirtz's creative dominance in a lopsided 93% win probability scenario."
