Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Matlock Town win, at 81.7%. Its single most likely scoreline is 3–0.

It puts both teams scoring at 57% and over 2.5 goals at 77%.

A 82% 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.
