Forfar’s recent draw against Edinburgh City suggests a cautious start, yet their home form shows a solid 2.0 average goals scored and only 1.0 conceded against similar opponents, giving them a 41% chance to win. Annan Athletic, fresh from a 2-0 win over Dumbarton, has struggled away, averaging just 0.5 goals scored and conceding 1.5, leaving them a 33% chance to win. The model favours a home win, with a 41% probability, a 26% draw chance, and a 33% away win probability. The expected total is 3.2 goals, and the most likely total is 3, occurring 22% of the time. The single most likely scoreline is 1-1, with an 11.6% probability. Suggested picks include Over 1.5, with an 83.4% probability of hitting. These figures paint a picture of a high-scoring encounter where Forfar’s home advantage and recent form give them the edge.
Results analysis
The Pythia model’s prediction proved spot on, with Forfar’s win extending their recent form streak. The final score of 5-1 confirmed the home victory the model had favoured, and the pre-match favourite was indeed the home win, assigned a 41% probability. The model’s single suggested pick, Over 1.5 goals, hit with an 83.4% chance. Each probability is expressed as a percentage, and the outcome of the pick is noted as a hit. The match finished with a decisive 5-1 result, matching the model’s expected total of 3.2 goals and the most likely scoreline of 3 goals. The model’s call was correct, and all selections settled as predicted.

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.
