Prediction conclusion
The model's leading selection is Newcastle United U21 win, at 55.9%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–2.
It puts both teams scoring at 74% and over 2.5 goals at 78%.
A 56% 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.
