Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Union Santa Fe win, at 51.8%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–0.

It puts both teams scoring at 46% and over 2.5 goals at 43%.

A 52% 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.
