Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Krylia Sovetov 1.73 xG and FC Rostov 1.45 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Krylia Sovetov attack 1.061 / defence 1.078 | FC Rostov attack 0.972 / defence 1.059. League average goals — home 1.542 / away 1.382. Data: built from Krylia Sovetov's last 32 games and FC Rostov's last 32. Some of those games are older results, so treat these probabilities as directional rather than precise.

Result probabilities: Krylia Sovetov 43% | Draw 27% | FC Rostov 31%. Fair-value odds: Krylia Sovetov 2.34 | Draw 3.75 | FC Rostov 3.27. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 27% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 62% | BTTS Yes probability 65% | Total xG 3.18. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 62% — the 3.18 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 65% — both xG figures (1.73 / 1.45) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Krylia Sovetov at 43% — marginal model lean. Draw probability of 27% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Krylia Sovetov if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 31% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

On the goals line, Poisson's 3.18 combined xG gives a 62% probability to Over 2.5 — strong conviction, supported by recent form (Krylia Sovetov's last 10 home games and FC Rostov's last 10 away games) averaging 2.8 goals per game and the H2H data averaging 3.5 goals per game across 4 H2H matches.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 65%. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Krylia Sovetov 60% (last 10 home games) | FC Rostov 70% (last 10 away games).

The Poisson model's sample (Krylia Sovetov 32 games, FC Rostov 32) includes some older results, so its projections carry extra uncertainty — weight recent form and the odds accordingly.
