The read. No side to back. Nothing separates them clearly enough to back a side.
The bets. No best bet: the strongest pick did not fit the read of this game. Predicted score: Denmark 2-1 Portugal (8% chance).
The agreed story. Portugal or the draw, goals in between.
Their internationals. National teams: read from their own internationals. Denmark in their last internationals: won 2-0 v Wales, lost 2-3 at Norway. Portugal in their last internationals: won 2-1 at Norway, won 1-0 v Wales. Too few internationals to judge the side from.
So. A close match: the safest pick that fits.
Every score's chance from both teams' checked games, never cut or rescaled. The lit square is the likeliest score that fits the read (an open game).
