Baltika vs Lokomotiv: Both teams to score - Yes
Baltika and Lokomotiv both sit on an expected 1.3 goals per game, making a shared scoring showdown the most probable outcome.
Both clubs arrive with contrasting recent runs – Baltika have been steady at home, while Lokomotiv have struggled to find the net away. The clash pits a side that scores and concedes equally against a visitor whose defensive record is porous on the road.
Lars's Verdict
The model assigns a 52.9% chance that both sides will score, driven by equal expected goals and Lokomotiv’s 2.0 away goals‑against average.
Show the maths
With Baltika averaging 1.3 expected goals and Lokomotiv averaging 1.3, the model gives a 52.9% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 47.1% it gives to at least one side being kept out.
Show the maths
Combined expected goals of 2.6 (Baltika 1.3 + Lokomotiv 1.3) points to a tighter game, with the model giving Under 2.5 Goals a 51.8% chance against 48.2% for Over.

Form Guide — Last 5
Baltika
Baltika’s last five league results are WWLDW, highlighted by a 2-1 home win over Dynamo and a 1-1 home draw with Rubin. The recent 3-0 away victory over Rodina Moskva shows they can score in bursts, while the 1-2 home loss to Spartak underscores a tendency to concede, reinforcing a scenario where both teams are likely to score.
Lokomotiv
Lokomotiv’s five-game run of LDDLL includes a 1-1 away draw with Orenburg and a 0-0 home stalemate against Akron. The 2-3 away defeat to CSKA Moscow highlights defensive frailties on the road, and the 0-1 home loss to Dynamo confirms they struggle to score, supporting a reading that they will at least find a goal here.
Head-to-Head
In the five recent meetings, three have featured both sides scoring – 1-1 in August 2025, 1-2 in October 2025, and 4-1 in July 2024 – reinforcing the BTTS outlook despite Lokomotiv’s recent 1-0 win in May 2026.
