Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Dinamo Makhachkala 1.09 xG and Krylia Sovetov 1.26 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: Dinamo Makhachkala attack 0.779 / defence 1.078 | Krylia Sovetov attack 0.993 / defence 1.077. League average goals — home 1.296 / away 1.176. Dinamo Makhachkala's attack rating of 0.779 is below the league average, which holds their xG down at 1.09. Data: built from Dinamo Makhachkala's last 20 games and Krylia Sovetov's last 50.

Result probabilities: Dinamo Makhachkala 28% | Draw 36% | Krylia Sovetov 36%. Fair-value odds: Dinamo Makhachkala 3.58 | Draw 2.80 | Krylia Sovetov 2.75. The draw (36%) is the Poisson-preferred outcome — neither side is more likely to win than to draw, making draw-inclusive markets the most model-aligned approach.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 42% | BTTS Yes probability 51% | Total xG 2.35. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 58% — total xG of 2.35 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS Yes at 51% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Picks & Verdict

The Poisson model's most likely outcome is the draw at 36% — neither side is more likely to win than to draw. Draw-inclusive markets are the most model-aligned approach. Home win at 28% and away win at 36% are close enough that backing either outright carries significant draw exposure.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.35 combined xG gives a 58% probability to Under 2.5 — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (Dinamo Makhachkala's last 10 home games and Krylia Sovetov's last 10 away games) averaging 2.2 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 51%. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: Dinamo Makhachkala 50% (last 10 home games) | Krylia Sovetov 50% (last 10 away games).
