    Prediction conclusion

    The model's leading selection is Maccabi Kiryat Malachi win, at 70.3%. Its single most likely scoreline is 2–0.

    It puts both teams scoring at 50% and over 2.5 goals at 60%.

    A 70% 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.
