Trading

Dynamo half-time and goal-timing data (last 57 games, 28 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 79% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 83% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; of the 22 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 27%; of the 12 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 58%; BTTS occurs in 68% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 61% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 44%.

Spartak Moscow half-time and goal-timing data (last 57 games, 28 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 50% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 52% of the time; BTTS occurs in 39% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 43% of games (away games); they keep a clean sheet 47% of the time.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Dynamo 72% versus Spartak Moscow 40%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Dynamo 60% | Spartak Moscow 54%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Dynamo 1.67 xG and Spartak Moscow 1.19 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: Dynamo attack 1.499 / defence 0.954 | Spartak Moscow attack 1.150 / defence 0.769. League average goals — home 1.449 / away 1.088. Dynamo carry an above-average attack rating of 1.499 — their 1.67 xG reflects attacking quality above the league norm. Spartak Moscow bring a tight defence (rating 0.769, below 1 = concedes less than average) — this is pulling Dynamo's projected output down. Data: built from Dynamo's last 57 games and Spartak Moscow's last 57.

Result probabilities: Dynamo 46% | Draw 28% | Spartak Moscow 25%. Fair-value odds: Dynamo 2.15 | Draw 3.54 | Spartak Moscow 3.96. Dynamo hold a narrow Poisson edge at 46% — the draw (28%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 55% | BTTS Yes probability 59% | Total xG 2.87. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 55% — the 2.87 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 59% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Dynamo at 46% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 28% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Dynamo if the outright odds are short.

The Poisson model projects 2.87 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 55% — strong conviction, supported by recent form (Dynamo's last 10 home games and Spartak Moscow's last 10 away games) averaging 3.0 goals per game and the H2H data averaging 2.8 goals per game across 6 H2H matches.

Poisson assigns a 59% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Dynamo 80% (last 10 home games) | Spartak Moscow 40% (last 10 away games).
