Key Insights: - Defensive solidity and balanced matchups are influential in driving low totals (successful under predictions). - Attacking strength disparity—especially in cup ties—can invalidate conservative goal predictions, as seen with Braga's rout. - Cautious double chance and under markets in low-scoring environments continue to show reliability, especially when favorites visit lower-tier opposition.

Overall, predictions leaned toward accuracy where team form, historical scoring patterns, and competition dynamics were well aligned—the unpredictability of single-elimination formats and underdog upsets remains a recurring challenge for model-based predictions.
