What we expect
In plain English
Vancouver Whitecaps are more likely than not to avoid defeat, but it is close. The model sees around three goals in it.
What would change the call
Vancouver Whitecaps 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.
