Forfar’s recent form shows a solid defensive record, conceding just one goal per game, while Edinburgh City’s away outings average a goal scored and a goal conceded. The model projects a high-scoring encounter, with an expected total of 3.4 goals, and the most probable total is three, occurring 22% of the time. The single most likely scoreline is 1-1, with a 9.9% chance. The model favours a home win, giving Forfar a 55% chance, a draw 23%, and an away win 23%. The suggested pick is Over 1.5 goals, with an 86.5% probability. The home side’s average of 1.67 goals scored per game and 1.0 conceded, versus Edinburgh City’s 1.0 scored and 1.0 conceded, suggests both sides will find the net. The final result was a 1-1 draw.
Results analysis
The pre-match favourite, Forfar, failed to deliver, as the match finished 1-1, a draw that left the model’s Home win call incorrect. The model had given Forfar a 55% chance of victory, while the expected total of 3.4 goals suggested a 3-goal match; the most likely scoreline was 1-1 at 9.9%. Both sides entered the game on a draw, with Forfar’s recent form showing a DLWDW streak and Edinburgh City’s DWWDL streak, each ending with a 1-1 result. The model’s single selection, Over 1.5, hit, with an 86.5% probability. The outcome confirmed the upset, as the predicted winner did not prevail.

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.
