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.

In plain English

Barcelona should get at least a draw here. They have won six of their last six, the model expects them to create around half a goal more per game than Real Betis, and Real Betis have not beaten them in their last five meetings. Expect goals: the model sees around three.

What would change the call

Barcelona or draw, priced again from the same expected goals if the match reaches these states.

Real Betis lead 1–0 at half-time75% → 43%
Barcelona lead 1–0 at half-time75% → 94%
Goalless at half-time75% → 77%

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.

How to read this

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).

Second half — who scores?

At half-time we update each side’s chance of scoring in the second half from what the first half showed.

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.
