Ayr Utd are tipped to win, with the model favouring a home victory at 53%. The expected total goals hover around 2.8, but the most likely total is two, with a 25% chance. The single most probable scoreline is 1-1, carrying a 12.2% probability. Ayr’s home form shows they average 1.15 goals scored and 1.23 conceded against similar opposition, while Morton, on the road, averages 1.38 goals scored and 2.08 conceded. The match-day probabilities are 53% for a home win, 26% for a draw, and 22% for an away win. The model’s selections include Over 2.5 cards at 80.7%, Over 1.5 goals at 78.3% (missed), Under 25.5 fouls at 78.2%, Under 11.5 corners at 74.8%, and Under 5.5 cards at 73.0%. Ayr entered the fixture after a draw, and Morton also came off a 1-1 draw, setting the stage for a tightly contested encounter.
Results analysis
The upset came early as Morton snatched a 1-0 win, the first away victory in five matches for the Saints, extending their winless run at home. The pre-match favourite was Ayr Utd, the model’s pick with a 53% chance, but the prediction proved wrong. The model’s selection for Over 1.5 goals, at 78.3%, also missed, as the match finished with a single goal. The final score of 0-1 confirmed the away win, and the model’s call was incorrect. This result underlines the unpredictability of the Championship and the risk of relying on a single favourite.

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.
