No. 07 · Scenario & score

Rangers vs Kilmarnock predicted score

Rangers on the ball, Kilmarnock deep.

Kilmarnock should defend deep and look for set pieces. Rangers take far more shots than their opponents and should create enough to score twice. 2:0 is our main score; 1:0 is the alternative if the first game after three weeks off is slow. A draw is the result that beats us.

Predicted score: 2:0

No. 09 · Arguing against ourselves

What could beat our pick?

Why this could go wrong.

Rangers score few: eight league goals in seven games, and all five straight wins were by one goal.
Two forwards, Shankland and Chermiti, are missing and Devlin is a new absence.
It is the first game after a three-week break, and Kilmarnock won 1:0 at Hibernian last month.

FAQ

What does Bet mean?

We expect this result and play it, as a single or as one leg of a double. It is logged in the tracker at the published odds.

How do you choose a pick?

We start from the market, then check a statistical model, named previews and our own scenario test against everything that moves the result: lineups, rest, motivation, style and team news. We publish when at least three of the four agree and the pick wins in the main scorelines. A warning sign, such as a back-up goalie or tired legs, moves us to a safer market or leaves the match as analysis only.

Can a prediction change after publishing?

No. The pick, odds and time are locked when published. Updates go into the log above.
