Mexico vs Ecuador

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

Why the model calls it this way

Over 1.5 Goals hits 81% probability because combined xG of 2.80 and Mexico's 1.54 attacking threat—led by Giménez's 22% team shot share—overwhelms Ecuador's 1.25 defensive capacity.
