Prediction conclusion
The model's leading selection is Needham Market win, at 90.0%. Its single most likely scoreline is 3–0.
It puts both teams scoring at 39% and over 2.5 goals at 75%.
A 90% 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.
