Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Al Sadd win, at 78.5%. Its single most likely scoreline is 3–1.

It puts both teams scoring at 74% and over 2.5 goals at 88%.

A 79% 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.
