Akhmat vs FC Rostov: FC Rostov to win
Akhmat's 1.0 xG at home meets Rostov's 1.7 away xG, while the model gives Rostov a 53.8% win chance. The numbers point to an away win for Rostov.

Lars's Verdict
The model rates a Rostov victory at 53.8%, driven by their higher expected goals and lower away goals‑against average.

Show the maths
Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Akhmat at 22.2%, the draw at 24.0%, and FC Rostov at 53.8% to win.
The single most likely scoreline in our model is 0-1 at 11.4% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Form Guide — Last 5
Akhmat
Akhmat’s last four results are a draw 1-1 at Lokomotiv (away), a 1-2 loss to Spartak Moscow (home), a 0-0 draw at Fakel (away) and a 0-1 defeat to FC Krasnodar (away). The lack of wins and only one goal scored across those games underlines a muted attack, reinforcing the view that scoring will be limited for them in this fixture.
FC Rostov
Rostov’s recent run includes a 0-1 loss to Zenit (home), a 1-2 defeat at Orenburg (away), a 4-2 away win over Rodina Moskva, a 0-0 draw at CSKA Moscow (away) and a 1-1 home draw with Rubin. The four‑goal haul against Rodina demonstrates they can produce multiple goals on the road, while the two clean sheets show defensive solidity, supporting a likely away win.
Head-to-Head
In the last five meetings, Akhmat have won three (1-0, 2-1, 3-2) and Rostov have drawn twice (1-1, 0-0), meaning recent head‑to‑head favors Akhmat but the model still gives Rostov the edge.
