Krylia Sovetov's record over their last 10 games: 3W 3D 4L (1.20 PPG). Last five: L L L W W. Their scoring rate of 1.20 per game is modest, conceding 1.30 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%). Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects FC Rostov 1.80 xG and Krylia Sovetov 1.25 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: FC Rostov attack 1.227 / defence 1.040 | Krylia Sovetov attack 0.940 / defence 1.068. League average goals — home 1.377 / away 1.282. Data: built from FC Rostov's last 47 games and Krylia Sovetov's last 47.

Result probabilities: FC Rostov 48% | Draw 28% | Krylia Sovetov 24%. Fair-value odds: FC Rostov 2.10 | Draw 3.51 | Krylia Sovetov 4.19. FC Rostov hold a narrow Poisson edge at 48% — the draw (28%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 59% | BTTS Yes probability 62% | Total xG 3.06. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 59% — the 3.06 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 62% — both xG figures (1.80 / 1.25) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is FC Rostov at 48% — moderate model lean. The head-to-head data (FC Rostov 5 wins from 7 H2H matches) corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 28% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on FC Rostov if the outright odds are short.

On the goals line, Poisson's 3.06 combined xG gives a 59% probability to Over 2.5 — strong conviction, supported by recent form (FC Rostov's last 10 home games and Krylia Sovetov's last 10 away games) averaging 2.9 goals per game and the H2H data averaging 3.7 goals per game across 7 H2H matches.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 62%. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: FC Rostov 60% (last 10 home games) | Krylia Sovetov 50% (last 10 away games).
