Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Brora Rangers win, at 63.3%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–2.

It puts both teams scoring at 67% and over 2.5 goals at 74%.

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.
