Percentage chance of each exact scoreline, Hibernian down the side and Kilmarnock across. These 98.5% cover every result up to 5 goals a side; the remaining 1.5% 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.

Recommended bet: none on this match

We weighed 11 priced outcomes on this match and none of them cleared the bar we set. Most matches end here, and a page that found a bet in every fixture would not be worth reading.

Our forecast makes Hibernian the most likely of the three results, at 61% (we would not be surprised by anything from 49% to 72%). Most likely is not likely: at 61% this result does not happen 39% of the time. The market agrees on the result and prices it at 68%.

How the devigged price moved before kick-off

Solid: the market over 7 captures. Dashed: our forecast, which does not move. Scaled 0–100%, so a line that looks flat is a price that barely moved rather than one we stopped watching.

Gap is our probability minus the market's. A large one means we disagree with the price, not that we are right — whether we have been is published per market on the accuracy page. A market with no price is one we hold no odds for yet.
