How to read this

The small bars under each number are that side’s last six matches, 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

Spain should win this one. They have won six of their last six, the model expects them to create about a goal more per game than Czechia, and Czechia have not beaten them in their last five meetings. Expect goals: the model sees around three.

What would change the call

Spain to win, priced again from the same expected goals if the match reaches these states.

Spain lead 1–0 at half-time90% → 97%
Czechia lead 1–0 at half-time90% → 42%
Goalless at half-time90% → 74%

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.
