      Prediction conclusion

      The model's leading selection is Dunfermline win, at 46.9%. Its single most likely scoreline is 0–1.

      It puts both teams scoring at 31% and over 2.5 goals at 25%.

      A 47% 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.
