What we expect from each side, next to how they have been doing lately.
Each card is drawn on one scale, so the two bars are directly comparable. “Above recent” means our forecast is higher than their average over the last six.
How likely the big moments are, and what they add up to.
How likely each side is to reach these totals before half-time. A longer bar means more likely.
Ranked by our probability, strongest first.
PSV Eindhoven should win this one. The model expects them to create about a goal more per game than Willem II, and they have won three of the last five between them. Expect goals: the model sees around five.
PSV Eindhoven to win, 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.
Chance of at least one goal before half-time: 86%
First-half numbers are our full-match forecast split by how much of each side's shooting and corners usually comes before the break. The small bars under each number are that side's most recent first halves (up to six).
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: PSV Eindhoven are favoured (88% win probability vs 4% for Willem II, 8% 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 PSV Eindhoven 3-0 Willem II (9.1% probability). Expected total goals: 4.5.
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 PSV Eindhoven 88%, the draw 8% and Willem II 4%. Every prediction is published before kickoff and settled afterwards.
Probably — Bawler's model gives both teams scoring a 55% chance. That is based on PSV Eindhoven expecting 3.72 goals and Willem II 0.82.
Bawler's model expects 4.5 goals in total. It leans towards three or more goals: over 2.5 goals is 83%.
