The model employs a Poisson goals simulation to generate win/draw/win probabilities, a most-likely scoreline, projected goals, and the likelihood of over 2.5 goals or both teams scoring. These insights are designed to provide a balanced view of the upcoming match without making unfounded claims or promises.
