Results analysis
The Pythia model’s prediction proved spot on, as AEL secured a 5-4 home win, extending their two-game winning run. The model had picked a home win with a 36% probability, and that call was correct. The match saw the model’s selections largely hit: Over 19.5 fouls at 87.5% probability came in, as did Over 2.5 cards at 85.7%, Over 1.5 goals at 78.9%, and Over 21.5 fouls at 76.5%. Only the Over 3.5 cards pick at 70.6% missed. The final score of 5-4 matched the actual result of a home victory, confirming the model’s overall accuracy.

Every selection Pythia rates above 70%, ordered by probability. Use Min odds to match the prices you want: slide down for near-certainties at short prices, up for longer prices. Unpriced picks are ranked on the model's fair odds. Edge defaults to Yes, showing only selections priced BELOW what the model makes them; switch to All to include the rest, and picks we hold no price for. The five columns are the best market prices (highest first) for each pick; edge is vs the average. Result grades each pick against the final score.
