Prediction conclusion
The model's leading selection is Western Suburbs win, at 90.9%. Its single most likely scoreline is 4–0.
It puts both teams scoring at 57% and over 2.5 goals at 86%.
A 91% 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.
