Prediction conclusion
The model's leading selection is Charlotte Independence win, at 69.8%. Its single most likely scoreline is 2–1.
It puts both teams scoring at 69% and over 2.5 goals at 79%.
A 70% 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.
