Netherlands should win this one. The model expects them to create about a goal more per game than Serbia. Expect goals: the model sees around four.
Netherlands 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.
Bawler's model rates this match: Netherlands are favoured (84% win probability vs 5% for Serbia, 12% draw). The model uses rolling xG, recent form, and lineup data.
The most likely scoreline from Bawler's model is Serbia 0-2 Netherlands (12.5% probability). Expected total goals: 3.53.
Bawler builds each side's expected goals from a rolling 26-match window, adjusts for home advantage and for injuries or absences in the confirmed squads, then runs the resulting scoreline distribution to get win, draw and both-teams-to-score probabilities. For this match that gives Serbia 5%, the draw 12% and Netherlands 84%. Every prediction is published before kickoff and settled afterwards.
BTTS: No (57% probability) — at least one team likely fails to score. Based on home expected goals 0.60 and away expected goals 2.93.
Bawler's model gives a combined expected-goals total of 3.53. The lean is Over 2.5 (a goal-fest is on the cards).
