How the runs finished
Winning margin across 5,000 simulations of this fixture. Bars right of the centre are Chile wins; the faded bars at each end hold everything beyond 75 points.
Margin percentiles
Eight runs in ten finished between 1 Chile and 51 Chile, with the middle run at 20 Chile.
Those are gaps rather than scorelines. How much scoring the match produces is drawn separately — between 35 and 79 points in eight runs out of ten — so one bar covers many scores. The middle run above is 32-12 on a tight afternoon and 44-24 on an open one.
Why Chile are favoured
Starting from an even match and adding what the model reads, in percentage points of win probability. Positive favours Chile, negative favours Russia.

A dash under Competition means the record does not name one, which is common — most rows on file carry no competition. None of this feeds the forecast: both ratings already contain these results.
