Dundalk’s defensive record at home is solid, conceding no goals in recent matches against stronger opposition, while Shamrock Rovers have been prolific away, scoring 1.67 and conceding 0.83 against weaker teams. The model projects a tight, low-scoring game with an expected 2.1 goals and a most likely total of 2, 28% of the time. The single most likely scoreline is 1-1, with a 14.8% chance. The favoured outcome is a home win, with a 38% probability, followed by a draw at 33% and an away win at 29%. Suggested selections include Under 3.5, with an 84.5% chance. The home side’s recent form shows a win, while the away side came off a draw. The match is expected to be a defensive standoff, with both teams likely to keep the scoreline close.
Results analysis
The pre-match favourite, Dundalk, failed to deliver, as Shamrock Rovers stormed to a 0-4 away win, extending their recent run. The model had tipped a home win with a 38% probability, but the pick was wrong. The model’s single suggested pick, Under 3.5 goals, at 84.5% probability, missed, as the match produced four goals. The final score of 0-4 confirmed an away victory, contradicting the model’s expectation of a 1-1 or 0-0 outcome. The upset highlights the volatility of the Premier Division and the risk of relying on pre-match odds alone.

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.
