Ballinamallard United are the clear favourites, with the model picking a home win and a 48 % chance of victory, 27 % for a draw and 25 % for a Dundela win. The expected total of 2.7 goals points to a modestly open game, and the most likely scoreline is 1-1, a 13.1 % probability. Ballinamallard have been scoring 0.83 goals and conceding 1.33 against stronger opposition at home, while Dundela, on the road, average 1.14 goals scored and 2.71 conceded against weaker teams. The recent form story is that Ballinamallard come off a win, whereas Dundela return after a defeat. The model’s selections include an 75.7 % chance that the match will see over 1.5 goals, and a 72.2 % chance of under 3.5 goals. The final score of 2-2 confirmed the draw, but the predictions highlighted a balanced contest with Ballinamallard’s edge.
Results analysis
The upset came early as Ballinamallard United, coming off a win, failed to secure the victory that the model had favoured. The final score was 2-2, a draw that left the pre-match favourite - the model’s home win pick with a 48 % probability - wrong. The model’s selection was therefore incorrect. The suggested picks delivered mixed results: Over 1.5, with a 75.7 % chance, hit, while Under 3.5, at 72.2 %, missed. The game ended in a stalemate, with each side scoring twice, confirming the model’s prediction of a 2-2 outcome was accurate, but its favourite call did not materialise.

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.
