Prediction conclusion
The model's leading selection is Southampton U21 win, at 73.8%. Its single most likely scoreline is 3–1.
It puts both teams scoring at 73% and over 2.5 goals at 85%.
A 74% 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.
