Percentage chance of each exact scoreline, Livingston down the side and Ayr Utd across. These 99.0% cover every result up to 5 goals a side; the remaining 1.0% is spread across higher scores.

Every other number on this page is a sum of this grid — the match result is the cells either side of the diagonal, over 2.5 is everything totalling three or more. We publish calibration for those sums, not for individual scorelines: no gate has ever graded our chance of exactly 2–1, so read a single cell as the shape of the forecast rather than a number we stand behind.
