Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Wealdstone win, at 84.8%. Its single most likely scoreline is 4–1.

It puts both teams scoring at 68% and over 2.5 goals at 88%.

A 85% 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.
