Probabilities are for 90 minutes only — extra time and penalties are not modelled.

Why the AI leans this way
Leeds United's 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest represents solid organisation but reveals a limited attacking ceiling — 1.0 goals per game overall and 1.50 at Elland Road won't trouble a Manchester City side that has won four of the last five H2H meetings and concedes just one goal per game.
