    Prediction conclusion

    The model's leading selection is Hills Brumbies win, at 45.1%. Its single most likely scoreline is 2–1.

    It puts both teams scoring at 71% and over 2.5 goals at 72%.

    A 45% 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.
