Prediction conclusion
The model's leading selection is Zebbug Rangers win, at 76.3%. Its single most likely scoreline is 3–1.
It puts both teams scoring at 68% and over 2.5 goals at 82%.
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.
