How It Unfolded

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Dinamo Makhachkala 1.22 xG and Nizhny Novgorod 0.66 xG, a combined 1.88. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Dinamo Makhachkala fell 1.2 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Dinamo Makhachkala attack 0.75 / defence 0.84 against Nizhny Novgorod attack 0.78 / defence 1.20, drawn from 47/47 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Dinamo Makhachkala 48% | Draw 34% | Nizhny Novgorod 18%, with Dinamo Makhachkala to win its most likely call at 48%. Instead the game produced a Nizhny Novgorod win, an outcome the model had rated at just 18% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 29%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 58% and missed.

Historically the two sides average 38% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Dinamo Makhachkala 23%, Nizhny Novgorod 53%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 40%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Form vs Result
