Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Syria win, at 88.1%. Its single most likely scoreline is 3–0.

It puts both teams scoring at 41% and over 2.5 goals at 73%.

A 88% 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.
