Win Probability: CD Santo Domingo or Independiente Del Valle?

We calculate the win probabilities as: CD Santo Domingo win – 15%, draw – 20%, Independiente Del Valle win – 65%.

The head-to-head record is completely one-sided, with the away team winning both previous matches.

The conclusion is clear: Independiente Del Valle is the most likely winner.
