    Prediction conclusion

    The model's leading selection is Wellington Phoenix II win, at 76.2%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–3.

    It puts both teams scoring at 73% and over 2.5 goals at 86%.

    A 76% 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.
