Motherwell are tipped to win, with a 49% chance of triumph, a 29% chance of a draw and a 23% chance of an away win. The model’s pick is a home victory and the average goal tally is 2.4, pointing to a modestly low-scoring affair. The most likely scoreline is 1-1, which carries a 13.6% probability, even though the expected total is two goals. Motherwell’s home form shows they score 1.64 goals and concede one per game against similarly strong opposition, while ST Johnstone, playing away, average 0.7 goals scored and 1.2 conceded against comparable teams. Suggested picks include Under 5.5 cards at 89%, Over 19.5 fouls at 79.8%, Under 4.5 cards at 77.3%, Under 3.5 at 77.1%, Over 8.5 corners at 76.1% and Over 1.5 at 71.2%. The final score was 1-0 in favour of Motherwell.

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.
