Four matches today, led by Portugal v DR Congo. The slate read, match by match, then the one line that ties it together.
Four matches on the board today. The firmest read is Portugal 75% against DR Congo — the model's widest separation on the card. Two of the four carry a side north of 60% — a chalk-leaning board where the model and the market mostly agree on who, if not by how much.
This is the one to build the day around: xG 2.3–0.6, and the model's separation here is wider than anything else on the slate.
The day in a line: Portugal is the call the model trusts most, the totals are where it's picking a fight with the books, and every number above goes on the record the moment the whistles blow — hits and misses alike.
