Prediction conclusion
The model's leading selection is Popești-Leordeni win, at 76.9%. Its single most likely scoreline is 2–0.
It puts both teams scoring at 53% and over 2.5 goals at 69%.
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.
