Prediction conclusion
The model's leading selection is Ceres win, at 59.8%. Its single most likely scoreline is 2–1.
It puts both teams scoring at 68% and over 2.5 goals at 72%.
A 60% 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.
