Estonia are more likely than not to avoid defeat, but it is close. It should be tight: the model sees around two goals in it.
The grey number is their average over the last six.
Each bar is split by each side's share of the total.
Estonia or draw is 68% now. Here is what it would become at half-time:
Each row is the call worked out again for that half-time score. 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.
How likely each side is to reach these totals before half-time.
At half-time we update each side’s chance of scoring in the second half from what the first half showed.
Bawler's model rates this match: Estonia are favoured (36% win probability vs 32% for Luxembourg, 32% draw). The model uses each side’s expected goals, recent form and the strength of the opposition.
The most likely scoreline from Bawler's model is Luxembourg 1-1 Estonia (14.3% probability). Expected total goals: 2.1.
Bawler estimates each side's expected goals from its results and the quality of its chances, adjusted for the strength of the opposition and for home advantage, then works out the chance of every scoreline to get win, draw and both-teams-to-score probabilities. Team news and lineups are not built into these numbers. For this match that gives Luxembourg 32%, the draw 32% and Estonia 36%. Every prediction is published before kickoff and settled afterwards.
Probably not — Bawler's model gives both teams scoring a 42% chance, so at least one side is more likely than not to keep a clean sheet. That is based on Luxembourg expecting 1.01 goals and Estonia 1.10.
Bawler's model expects 2.1 goals in total. It leans towards two goals or fewer: over 2.5 goals is only 35%.
