South Korea are the model's pick, without being a certainty. The model expects them to create about a goal more per game than Uzbekistan. Expect goals: the model sees around three.
South Korea 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: South Korea are favoured (64% win probability vs 16% for Uzbekistan, 20% draw). The model uses rolling xG, recent form, and lineup data.
The most likely scoreline from Bawler's model is South Korea 2-1 Uzbekistan (9.7% probability). Expected total goals: 3.29.
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 South Korea 64%, the draw 20% and Uzbekistan 16%. Every prediction is published before kickoff and settled afterwards.
BTTS: Yes (58% probability) — both attacks should find the net. Based on home expected goals 2.24 and away expected goals 1.05.
Bawler's model gives a combined expected-goals total of 3.29. The lean is Over 2.5 (a goal-fest is on the cards).
