🧵 Peru 1.3, Spain 1.4 xG looks like a coin flip. But the output from each team's attack isn't symmetrical. One side punches far above their xG. The other, far below.

Spain's model is especially sensitive to player availability. With Álex Baena, 0.7 goals/game. Without: 0 goals/game in 6 of 8 matches. That kind of dependency usually shifts goal line projections significantly.

1.4 xG for Canada versus 1.2 xG for Republic of Ireland. Republic of Ireland's defensive suppression pulls the model's projection down. 1-1 is the top scoreline.

Paraguay's high-scoring league context (+0.37) battles a blunt attack (-0.80). The model's top scoreline is 1-1, not the higher home expectation.

📷 Paraguay 1.7 xG over Nicaragua 1.0 looks like a clear home advantage. But the numbers also flag a huge swing in Paraguay's scoring potential.
Without Álex Arce, that 1.7 expectation drops to 0.5.

A team scoring only in H2 for three straight games changes how goals fall. Paraguay shows this pattern. That specific timing is why this match isn't what it looks like.
↓↓↓

[DumbleScore Labs @DumbleScoreLabs]

- Paraguay: blunt attack: -0.80
- Nicaragua: Paraguay's shaky defense: -0.48
- Paraguay: high-scoring league context: +0.37
This is the core tension. The full factor list shows how it resolves.
