    Prediction conclusion

    The model's leading selection is Mozambique U20 win, at 77.2%. Its single most likely scoreline is 2–0.

    It puts both teams scoring at 60% and over 2.5 goals at 75%.

    A 77% 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.
