Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is LD Alajuelense win, at 54.5%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–0.

It puts both teams scoring at 45% and over 2.5 goals at 44%.

A 55% 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.
