75.8% model probability

Krasnodar enter the match after a three‑game winning streak, having turned a narrow 1‑2 loss to Dynamo into three consecutive victories. Akhmat, meanwhile, have slipped to two draws and a loss in their last five, struggling to convert chances into points.

Lars's Verdict

Strong
Over 2.5 goals Lost Strong lean Strong · High scoring

The 75.8 % over‑2.5 probability, driven by Krasnodar’s 3.0 expected home goals and Akhmat’s modest defensive record, makes a goal‑rich game the most likely outcome.

Show the maths
Krasnodar’s expected 3.0 goals at home exceeds the 2.5‑goal threshold on its own, while Akhmat’s 1.0 expected away goal adds to the total. The model’s over‑2.5 probability of 75.8 % directly reflects this combined xG advantage. Top scoreline probabilities cluster around 2‑0, 2‑1 and 3‑0, each at 8.2 %, reinforcing the likelihood of three or more goals. Consequently, the model assigns a strong confidence to the over‑2.5 market.
Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score
Both Teams to Score — Yes Lost 59.8% model probability

With FC Krasnodar averaging 3.0 expected goals and Akhmat averaging 1.0, the model gives a 59.8% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 40.2% it gives to at least one side being kept out.

Show the maths
BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (FC Krasnodar 3.0, Akhmat 1.0) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 59.8% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 40.2% where at least one side is shut out.
Pick 3 · Total Goals
Over 2.5 Goals Lost 75.8% model probability

Combined expected goals of 4.0 (FC Krasnodar 3.0 + Akhmat 1.0) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 75.8% chance against 24.2% for Under.

Show the maths
Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (FC Krasnodar 3.0 + Akhmat 1.0 = 4.0 combined): 75.8% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 24.2% finishing with 2 or fewer.
Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has FC Krasnodar at 77.1%, the draw at 13.1%, and Akhmat at 9.4% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 2-0 at 8.2% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.
