We play the match out thousands of times using our expected goals and count how often each scoreline lands. The brighter a square, the more often we see that result — our single most likely outcome here is 1-0. It's worth remembering that no one scoreline is ever truly likely on its own, since football tends to spread itself across many possible endings.
The preview
Liverpool host Nottingham Forest in a Premier League fixture where the numbers point clearly in one direction. The model gives Liverpool a 53% chance of victory, with a draw at 37% and a Forest win at just 11%. The expected goals figures back this up, with Liverpool projected at 1.09 compared to Forest's 0.33, suggesting a comfortable edge for the home side in attacking quality.
Recent form adds further context. Liverpool drew their last outing, while Forest suffered a defeat, leaving them without a point per game in their most recent match. This gap in momentum, combined with the expected goals split, supports the model's view of a low-scoring but Liverpool-leaning contest. The most likely scoreline is 1-0, and with medium confidence attached, this looks a sensible expectation rather than a certainty. Liverpool should have enough control to edge this, though Forest's underlying numbers suggest they will not be entirely without a foothold in the game.
