Prediction conclusion
The model's leading selection is Sunderland W win, at 54.1%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–0.
It puts both teams scoring at 46% and over 2.5 goals at 45%.
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.
