Eight runs in ten finished between 2 Scotland and 53 Scotland, half of them between 8 Scotland and 38 Scotland, with the middle run at 21 Scotland.
Those are gaps rather than scorelines. How much scoring the match produces is drawn separately — between 36 and 84 points in eight runs out of ten — so one bar covers many scores. The middle run above is 33-12 on a tight afternoon and 46-25 on an open one.
Why Scotland are favoured
How the model arrives at the chance of Scotland winning. It starts at an even 50%, and each line below adds to that or takes from it, in percentage points (pp): a bar to the right helps Scotland, a bar to the left helps Uruguay.

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.
