Results analysis

The pre-match favourite, Waterford, did not come through, as the game finished 0-0, a draw that surprised the model’s prediction. The model had given Waterford a 43 % chance to win, but the result was a stalemate, so the model’s pick was wrong. Every suggested pick was settled: Under 7.5 hit at 98.4 %, Away under 2.5 HT goals hit at 97.4 %, Home under 2.5 HT goals hit at 96.3 %, Under 6.5 hit at 95.7 %, Away under 3.5 goals hit at 92.7 %, Home under 3.5 goals hit at 91.8 %, Under 5.5 hit at 89.7 %, and Away under 1.5 HT goals hit at 89.1 %.

⚖️ 7. Handicap

Handicap

The handicap is applied to Sligo Rovers, so a minus line means Sligo Rovers give that many goals of a start and Waterford receive them. At -1, Sligo Rovers must win by two or more to land; a one-goal Sligo Rovers win settles as Draw. There is no returned stake - the middle case is its own selection. Taken from the same scoreline distribution as correct score.

🥅 9. Half Time Home & Away O/U

How many goals each side scores in the first half on its own. Each line is modelled directly from that team's half-time goals rather than read off a scoreline grid, so unlike the full-time version the two sides need not sum exactly to the half-time match total.

🔥 12. Top picks for this game

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.
