Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Ngezi Platinum win, at 45.2%. Its single most likely scoreline is 0–1.

It puts both teams scoring at 30% and over 2.5 goals at 24%.

A 45% 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.
