Head-to-Head

Form and model data should carry more weight here — the historical record is too balanced to provide a directional steer. From 7 meetings: Akhmat 3W, Krylia Sovetov 3W, 1D.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Akhmat 1.16 xG and Krylia Sovetov 1.36 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: Akhmat attack 0.773 / defence 0.910 | Krylia Sovetov attack 1.263 / defence 1.048. League average goals — home 1.428 / away 1.185. Akhmat's attack strength of 0.773 is below the league average — the 1.16 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Krylia Sovetov have an above-average attack strength of 1.263 — the away xG of 1.36 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Data: 34 Akhmat games / 34 Krylia Sovetov games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Akhmat 29% | Draw 31% | Krylia Sovetov 39%. Fair-value odds: Akhmat 3.45 | Draw 3.23 | Krylia Sovetov 2.56. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 31% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 46% | BTTS probability 53% | Total xG 2.52. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 46%/54% — the total xG of 2.52 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 53% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Krylia Sovetov at 39% — marginal model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 31% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Krylia Sovetov if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 29% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

Poisson projects 2.52 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 46% probability — Poisson-only — limited corroboration conviction.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 53% on Yes. Form rates corroborate: Akhmat 50% | Krylia Sovetov 90% BTTS from recent games.
