Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is VfL Wolfsburg W win, at 88.9%. Its single most likely scoreline is 0–3.

It puts both teams scoring at 53% and over 2.5 goals at 83%.

A 89% 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.
