Answer

"LIKELY:" is an adjective that has many definitions like:
1. probable: probably going to happen
2. plausible: fit to be believed (often used ironically)
3. suitable: appropriate for a particular activity or purpose
4. promising: with a good chance of success or victory
5. pleasing: pleasant or good-looking
   for example : A likely young woman.

"UNLIKELY" is obviously the antonym of "LIKELY" which has many different meanings also:
1. improbable: not likely to occur.
2. not believable: not likely to be true or be believed
3. incongruous: not suitable or appropriate
4. probably not successful: not likely to meet with success
