How does Bawler predict New Zealand vs India?

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 New Zealand 81%, the draw 14% and India 5%. Every prediction is published before kickoff and settled afterwards.
