Kauno Žalgiris are tipped to win, with a 58 % chance of triumph, a 24 % chance of a draw and 18 % for Šiauliai. The expected total of 2.9 goals points to a moderately high-scoring affair, yet the most likely total is two goals, a 24 % probability. The single scoreline the model deems most probable is 1-1, with a 11.5 % chance. Kauno Žalgiris, playing at home against a side of similar strength, average 2.38 goals scored and 1.12 conceded; Šiauliai, on the road, average 1.17 scored and 1.83 conceded. The model’s selection, Over 1.5, carries a 79.4 % probability and is marked as a hit. Both teams have recently lost, each coming off a 0-3 defeat, which may dampen confidence. The overall shape suggests a competitive match with Kauno Žalgiris edging the game, but a 1-1 finish remains the most likely outcome.

Results analysis

Kauno Žalgiris, after a shaky run that ended with a 0-3 loss to Beşiktaş, turned their form around to secure a convincing 4-0 home victory over Šiauliai, who also entered the match after a 0-3 defeat to TransINVEST Vilnius. The Pythia model had correctly called a Home win with a 58 % probability, and the result matched the prediction. The model’s selection of Over 1.5 goals, with a 79.4 % chance, also hit, as the match produced four goals. The most likely scoreline of 2-0 at 10.1 % was not achieved, but the overall predictions proved largely accurate.

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.
