Prediction conclusion
The model's leading selection is Gaborone United win, at 60.2%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–0.
It puts both teams scoring at 41% and over 2.5 goals at 42%.
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.
