Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Mgarr United win, at 74.3%. Its single most likely scoreline is 2–0.

It puts both teams scoring at 56% and over 2.5 goals at 69%.

A 74% 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.
