Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Queen's Park win, at 51.0%. Its single most likely scoreline is 2–1.

It puts both teams scoring at 73% and over 2.5 goals at 75%.

A 51% 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.
