    Prediction conclusion

    The model's leading selection is Stockport County U21 win, at 51.2%. Its single most likely scoreline is 2–1.

    It puts both teams scoring at 67% and over 2.5 goals at 68%.

    A 51% 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.
