Prediction conclusion
The model's leading selection is Caledonian Braves win, at 68.2%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–3.
It puts both teams scoring at 74% and over 2.5 goals at 83%.
A 68% 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.
