Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Linfield W win, at 48.5%. Its single most likely scoreline is 2–2.

It puts both teams scoring at 86% and over 2.5 goals at 90%.

A 49% 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.
