Goals markets follow the same shape: 10% for over 2.5 goals and 17% for both teams to score, with 0–0 the single most likely scoreline at 34%.

Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Home/Draw, at 73.0%. Its single most likely scoreline is 0–0.

It puts both teams scoring at 17% and over 2.5 goals at 10%.

A 73% 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.
