Goals markets follow the same shape: 78% for over 2.5 goals and 72% for both teams to score, with 2–1 the single most likely scoreline at 8%.

Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Genk win, at 63.0%. Its single most likely scoreline is 2–1.

It puts both teams scoring at 72% and over 2.5 goals at 78%.

A 63% 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.
