Lars's Verdict

Strong
Over 2.5 goals Won Strong lean Strong · High goal volume

The combined expected‑goals tally of 4.7 and the model's 84.6% probability make the over‑2.5 goals market the most compelling choice.

Show the maths
Akhmat's expected goals of 2.7 and Dinamo's 2.0 sum to 4.7 goals per match. The model translates that aggregate xG into an 84.6% probability that the total score will exceed 2.5 goals. This high probability, together with recent high‑scoring fixtures (4‑1 and 3‑3 for Akhmat, 4‑1 and 2‑0 for Dinamo), drives the strong confidence in the over market.
Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score
Both Teams to Score — Yes Won 80.5% model probability

With Akhmat averaging 2.7 expected goals and Dinamo Makhachkala averaging 2.0, the model gives a 80.5% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 19.5% it gives to at least one side being kept out.

Show the maths
BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (Akhmat 2.7, Dinamo Makhachkala 2.0) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 80.5% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 19.5% where at least one side is shut out.
Pick 3 · Total Goals
Over 2.5 Goals Won 84.6% model probability

Combined expected goals of 4.7 (Akhmat 2.7 + Dinamo Makhachkala 2.0) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 84.6% chance against 15.4% for Under.

Show the maths
Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Akhmat 2.7 + Dinamo Makhachkala 2.0 = 4.7 combined): 84.6% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 15.4% finishing with 2 or fewer.
Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Akhmat at 53.1%, the draw at 18.1%, and Dinamo Makhachkala at 28.6% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 2-1 at 6.6% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.
