Each row is drawn on one scale, so a bar means the same length on both sides. Second-half goals are our full-match forecast minus our first half.

How to read this

The small bars under each number are that side’s most recent matches (up to six), 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.

What would change the call

VfB Stuttgart or draw, priced again from the same expected goals if the match reaches these states.

VfB Stuttgart lead 1–0 at half-time68% → 92%
Atlético Madrid lead 1–0 at half-time68% → 37%
Goalless at half-time68% → 72%

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.
