Prediction conclusion
The model's leading selection is Academico Viseu win, at 62.5%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–2.
It puts both teams scoring at 57% and over 2.5 goals at 62%.
A 63% 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.
