The contest between Motherwell and ST Johnstone is a tight one, with the model favouring an away win. Home and away win percentages sit at 34% and 39%, while a draw is 27%. The expected total goals is 3.0, yet the most likely total is 2, with a 24% chance. The single most probable scoreline is 1-1, carrying a 12.5% probability, and that is the only scoreline to mention. Motherwell’s home form shows 1.3 goals scored and 1.1 conceded against similar opponents, whereas ST Johnstone’s away form is 1.8 scored and 1.7 conceded. Suggested picks include Under 5.5 cards at 90.9%, Over 19.5 fouls at 85.5%, Over 1.5 at 80.6%, Under 4.5 cards at 80.4%, Under 11.5 corners at 73.7% and Over 21.5 fouls at 73.6%. Both teams have been in rough patches, each losing their first two matches before the last game, which may keep the outcome uncertain.
Results analysis
The recent form narrative is clear: Motherwell’s last five games (LLDWD) left them after two straight defeats, while ST Johnstone (LLWDL) also entered the match following a double loss. The model’s favourite was an away win with a 39% probability, and the final score of 0-3 confirmed that call. The expected total of three goals fell short of the most likely 2-goal outcome, but the match still delivered a decisive result. The model’s selections largely hit: Under 5.5 cards (90.9%) and Over 19.5 fouls (85.5%) were correct, as were Over 1.5 (80.6%) and Under 4.5 cards (80.4%). Over 21.5 fouls (73.6%) also succeeded, while Under 11.5 corners (73.7%) missed. The predictions were largely accurate, reinforcing confidence in the model’s approach.

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.
