Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Lisburn Distillery win, at 76.1%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–3.

It puts both teams scoring at 64% and over 2.5 goals at 78%.

A 76% 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.
