Mali W vs Cape Verde W Prediction, Odds & Statistics

Prediction conclusion
The model's leading selection is Mali W win, at 56.1%. Its single most likely scoreline is 2–1.
It puts both teams scoring at 66% and over 2.5 goals at 69%.
A 56% 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.
