Brit Predictor's model rates Celtic to win as the most likely result (67%). It gives Kilmarnock 15% at home, a draw 18% and Celtic 67%, so its call is 2: Celtic to win. The bookmakers, with their margin removed, have it 12% / 16% / 72%, a call of 2. Expected goals are 1.1 for Kilmarnock and 2.5 for Celtic; on goals, the model leans Over 2.5 at 69%.
Rebuilt after kick-off using only matches played before it. A double chance (1X, X2, 12) is called when the top two results are within 10 points. A goals call (O2.5 or U2.5) is made only when the model gives one side at least 65%.
