    Prediction conclusion

    The model's leading selection is Home/Draw, at 72.8%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–0.

    It puts both teams scoring at 37% and over 2.5 goals at 30%.

    A 73% 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.
