Japan vs Sweden

Bawler runs a Poisson model on rolling xG, normalised across leagues, adjusted for venue and injuries. This page shows the full chain β€” every number you can see is one we used.

Why the model calls it this way

Over 2.5 Goals sits at 73% probability because Japan's 1.69 xG and Sweden's 1.14 xG combine for a goal-heavy 2.83 expected total, with Japan's attacking depth around Minamino giving hosts the edge at home.
