Prediction conclusion
The model's leading selection is Nairobi United win, at 53.0%. Its single most likely scoreline is 0–1.
It puts both teams scoring at 34% and over 2.5 goals at 30%.
A 53% 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.
