Prediction conclusion
The model's leading selection is Adelaide Raiders win, at 70.1%. Its single most likely scoreline is 2–0.
It puts both teams scoring at 47% and over 2.5 goals at 56%.
A 70% 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.
