- Sweden 1-0 Tunisia: 11.9%
- Sweden 2-1 Tunisia: 9.4%
- Sweden 2-0 Tunisia: 9.1%

Takeway: Sweden approaches a 50% likelihood to win outright, but the single most probable final score is actually a 1-1 deadlock. Because the model leans Under 2.5 goals at 52.7%, a conservative strategy like Sweden to Win or Draw paired with an under alternative could protect against the high probability of a tight 1-1 or 1-0 outcome.
