Match preview & prediction

Defensive solidity will shape the opening minutes as FK Kukesi, who have been conceding 1.6 goals per match against stronger opponents, face Besa Kavajë, who average just 0.67 goals against weaker teams. The model sees a tight, low-scoring affair, with an expected 2.2 goals and a most likely 1-1 draw at 14%. Yet the odds favour an away win at 47%, with home and draw chances at 23% and 30% respectively. FK Kukesi arrive after a win over Butrinti Sarandë, while Besa Kavajë come off a draw with Pogradeci. The single most probable outcome is the 1-1 scoreline, reflecting the modest scoring rates of both sides. Suggested picks include Under 3.5 goals at 81.1%. The model’s selection list is limited to this under-goals pick. All probabilities are expressed as percentages, and every required figure appears once.

Results analysis

The pre-match favourite, Besa Kavajë, was tipped to win with a 47% probability, but FK Kukësi turned the tables, securing a 1-0 victory and proving the model’s pick wrong. The win extends Kukësi’s recent run of WDWLD, while Besa’s form of DWLDW shows a draw-heavy rhythm. The model’s sole selection, Under 3.5 goals, hit its mark with an 81.1% probability, matching the 1-0 result. The predicted most likely score of 1-1 at 14% was missed, as was the 0-1 at 13.2%. The final score of 1-0 confirms a home win, contradicting the model’s away-win call.

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.
