Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is LD Alajuelense win, at 46.4%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–0.

It puts both teams scoring at 42% and over 2.5 goals at 37%.

A 46% 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.
