Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Benfica win, at 73.5%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–2.

It puts both teams scoring at 64% and over 2.5 goals at 77%.

A 74% selection is expected to miss in the remaining share of matches, and football regularly produces red cards, injuries and tactical changes the data cannot see. Treat this as a probability, not a forecast of the result.
