Goals markets follow the same shape: 50% for over 2.5 goals and 43% for both teams to score, with 0–1 the single most likely scoreline at 14%.

Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Sydney United win, at 68.2%. Its single most likely scoreline is 0–1.

It puts both teams scoring at 43% and over 2.5 goals at 50%.

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.
