Definition
有望 (yǒu wàng) is a formal verb meaning 'to be likely to / show promise', used in news and official forecasts for positive outcomes. It is more formal and specific than the neutral prediction verb 会 (huì), and unlike 易于 (yì yú), which suggests a tendency (often negative), 有望 carries an optimistic tone of expected success.
