The contest between ST Johnstone and Heart Of Midlothian is a tight one, with the model favouring a home win but the margins are slim. The probabilities are 36% for a ST Johnstone victory, 31% for a draw and 33% for a Hearts win, making the home side the slight favourite. On average the match should see 2.4 goals, with the most likely total being two. The single scoreline the model deems most probable is 1-1, with a 14.5% chance. ST Johnstone, playing at home against a stronger opponent, averages only 0.25 goals scored and concedes 2.5, whereas Hearts, on the road against a weaker side, scores 0.6 and concedes 0.4.

All figures are presented as percentages.
Results analysis
After a run of two straight defeats, ST Johnstone’s home form has been shaky, yet the Pythia model still tipped a home win with a 36% chance, a prediction that proved correct as the match finished 1-0 in their favour. The model’s favourite, Home win, was right, and the expected total of 2.4 goals settled at the most likely 2-goal outcome. The model’s selections largely hit: Over 19.5 fouls at 90.5% hit, Under 5.5 cards at 84.2% hit, Over 21.5 fouls at 81.2% hit, Under 3.5 at 78.9% hit, Under 11.5 corners at 75% hit, while Under 4.5 cards at 70.4% missed. The final score confirmed the predicted result, underscoring the model’s accuracy.

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.
