Rodina Moskva vs Baltika: Rodina Moskva to win
Rodina Moskva's 2.5 expected goals versus Baltika's 1.5 set up a clear advantage, and the model backs a 59.3% win probability for the hosts.
Both sides come into the clash on uneven form – Rodina has slipped to three losses in five, while Baltika's recent surge of two wins is offset by a fresh defeat. The fixture pits a high‑scoring home side against an away team that concedes very little.
Lars's Verdict
Rodina's 2.5 expected goals against Baltika's 1.5, plus a 59.3% win probability, point to a home win.
Show the maths
With Rodina Moskva averaging 2.5 expected goals and Baltika averaging 1.5, the model gives a 71.2% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 28.8% it gives to at least one side being kept out.
Show the maths
Combined expected goals of 4.0 (Rodina Moskva 2.5 + Baltika 1.5) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 76.1% chance against 23.9% for Under.
Show the maths
Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Rodina Moskva at 59.3%, the draw at 18.6%, and Baltika at 22.0% to win.
The single most likely scoreline in our model is 2-1 at 8.6% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Model probabilities are derived from each team's real season goals-for and goals-against averages via a Poisson goal-expectancy model — not a fixed set of narrative numbers.
Form Guide — Last 5
Rodina Moskva
Rodina's recent five results (L 0-3 vs Spartak, L 2-4 vs Rostov, W 2-1 vs Zenit, D 3-3 vs Akron, L 1-3 vs Dynamo) show they can score, evident in the 2‑1 win at Zenit, but also concede heavily, as seen in the 2‑4 loss to Rostov. This mixed form, with three defeats, underlines that while they are vulnerable, their goal output remains high – supporting a win if they can tighten defence.
Baltika
Baltika's last five games include a 2‑1 home win over Dynamo and a 2‑0 away victory at Krylia Sovetov, demonstrating they can score when they dominate. However, the recent 1‑2 home loss to Spartak shows they can be undone by stronger opponents, indicating they may struggle to keep pace with Rodina's firepower.
Head-to-Head
In the latest head‑to‑head, Baltika beat Rodina 2‑1 in November, but earlier encounters have been tight, with a 0‑0 draw in July. The recent win by Baltika hints at competitiveness, yet the overall trend of higher scoring games favours a Rodina win.
