Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Botafogo win, at 65.1%. Its single most likely scoreline is 2–0.

It puts both teams scoring at 49% and over 2.5 goals at 54%.

A 65% 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.
