    Prediction conclusion

    The model's leading selection is Home/Draw, at 67.6%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–1.

    It puts both teams scoring at 58% and over 2.5 goals at 55%.

    A 68% 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.
