Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Auchinleck Talbot win, at 77.0%. Its single most likely scoreline is 3–1.

It puts both teams scoring at 73% and over 2.5 goals at 86%.

A 77% 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.
