    Prediction conclusion

    The model's leading selection is Shabab Al-Ahli Dubai U23 win, at 59.9%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–0.

    It puts both teams scoring at 52% and over 2.5 goals at 54%.

    A 60% 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.
