Each row is drawn on one scale, so a bar means the same length on both sides. Second-half goals are our full-match forecast minus our first half. Shots and corners are not shown for this fixture — we do not have enough counted matches for these sides yet.

How to read this

The small bars under each number are that side’s most recent matches (up to six), home and away, against opponents of mixed strength, oldest on the left; the dashed line is the number we expect. Our forecast is for this opponent at this ground, so a favourite’s recent numbers often sit below it and an underdog’s above it.

Recent averages · last 6 matches or fewer

What each side has actually done lately, home and away — a record, not a forecast. Numancia: no recent matches on file; Real Oviedo: last 6 matches.

In plain English

Numancia are the model's pick, without being a certainty. They are unbeaten in their last six, and the model expects them to create about a goal more per game than Real Oviedo. The model sees around three goals in it.

What would change the call

Numancia to win, priced again from the same expected goals if the match reaches these states.

Numancia lead 1–0 at half-time74% → 88%
Real Oviedo lead 1–0 at half-time74% → 26%
Goalless at half-time74% → 57%

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.

These are forecasts, not tips. A player’s rate is weighted toward the league average when it rests on fewer minutes, so a small sample never reads as a certainty.
