Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Dinamo Makhachkala 0.90 xG and Krylia Sovetov 1.64 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 0.780 / defence 1.156 | Krylia Sovetov attack 1.138 / defence 0.845. League average goals — home 1.367 / away 1.247. Dinamo Makhachkala's attack strength of 0.780 is below the league average — the 0.90 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Data: 43 Dinamo Makhachkala games / 42 Krylia Sovetov games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Dinamo Makhachkala 18% | Draw 29% | Krylia Sovetov 53%. Fair-value odds: Dinamo Makhachkala 5.56 | Draw 3.45 | Krylia Sovetov 1.89. Krylia Sovetov hold a narrow Poisson edge at 53% — the draw (29%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 47% | BTTS probability 50% | Total xG 2.54. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 47%/53% — the total xG of 2.54 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 50% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Picks & Verdict

Dinamo Makhachkala dominate the H2H record, yet Krylia Sovetov are the in-form side right now — historical edge versus current momentum creates a genuine dilemma.

On the Poisson output, Krylia Sovetov are the pick at 53% — moderate model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 29% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Krylia Sovetov if the outright odds are short.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.54 combined xG gives a 47% probability to Under 2.5 — Poisson-only — limited corroboration — though H2H averaging only 2.8 goals per meeting points in the other direction.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 50%. Form rates are neutral: Dinamo Makhachkala 40% | Krylia Sovetov 50%.
