Prediction conclusion
The model's leading selection is Nigeria U20 W win, at 81.9%. Its single most likely scoreline is 3–1.
It puts both teams scoring at 67% and over 2.5 goals at 85%.
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.
