Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Columbus Crew win, at 77.4%. Its single most likely scoreline is 2–0.

It puts both teams scoring at 60% and over 2.5 goals at 76%.

A 77% 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.
