Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Strumska Slava win, at 53.6%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–0.

It puts both teams scoring at 44% and over 2.5 goals at 42%.

A 54% 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.
