Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Potenza win, at 50.4%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–1.

It puts both teams scoring at 65% and over 2.5 goals at 66%.

A 50% 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.
