The grey number is their average over the last six.
Each bar is split by each side's share of the total.
What would change the call
Spain or draw is 79% now. Here is what it would become at half-time:
Each row is the call worked out again for that half-time score. 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.
