South Africa vs Canada

Bawler runs a Poisson model on rolling xG, normalised across leagues, adjusted for venue and injuries. This page shows the full chain โ€” every number you can see is one we used.

Why the model calls it this way

Over 1.5 Goals sits at 74% because Canada's xG advantage (1.40 to 1.08) and Davies-David creative duo will consistently test South Africa's Tau and Zwane in a free-flowing encounter.
