Prediction outcome

Result pick missed

We predicted Bayern Munich win (62%). Final score 2–2.

Exact score not matched

Most likely score 1-1, actual 2-2. The most likely Bayern Munich win is 2-1 (9%). A win is spread over many scores (1-0, 2-1, 2-0…), a draw over a few, so the single top score can be a draw even when a win is the pick. Exact scores land about one time in eight, so this is shown for reference.

Over 2.5 goals: yes

We gave over 2.5 a 72% chance; the match had 4 goals.

Both teams scored: yes

We gave both teams to score a 67% chance.
