Illustrative match-state scenario based on the model, not a prediction of exact event timing.
Portugal are expected to create the stronger chance profile, with 1.8 expected goals compared with 1.2 for Croatia. Their advantage is built from the combined ranking, attack, defensive and recent-form signals in the model.
Croatia's best route is to keep the match level and turn lower-volume opportunities into high-impact moments. The 20% draw probability shows that the contest can remain competitive even with Portugal favored.
If Portugal score first, their projected win probability rises to approximately 72%. The forecast remains probabilistic, and a set piece, dismissal or early momentum swing can materially change the match state.
The statistical model projects 1.84 xG for Portugal against 1.2 for Croatia, yielding 54% / 20% / 26%. Predicted score: 1-1 (high confidence).
