    Prediction conclusion

    The model's leading selection is Independente RJ win, at 45.7%. Its single most likely scoreline is 0–1.

    It puts both teams scoring at 41% and over 2.5 goals at 35%.

    A 46% 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.
