Prediction conclusion
The model's leading selection is Queen's University win, at 74.9%. Its single most likely scoreline is 0–2.
It puts both teams scoring at 44% and over 2.5 goals at 58%.
A 75% 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.
