Form

Krylia Sovetov (all games): 5W 3D 2L across their last 10 — 1.80 PPG. Last five: D W D L W. They are averaging 2.00 goals per game — a high-scoring output that makes them a genuine attacking threat in any fixture. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%). Both teams have scored in 80% of their matches — an extremely high rate that makes BTTS Yes a well-supported standalone angle from their form alone.

At home, Krylia Sovetov have gone 4W 4D 2L in their last 10 home games (1.60 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.70 goals scored and 1.30 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture.

Fakel's record over their last 10 games: 4W 1D 5L (1.30 PPG). Last five: L L L W D. Their scoring rate of 1.00 per game is modest, conceding 1.20 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 4 clean sheets in 10 outings (40%) underlines their defensive solidity.

When travelling, Fakel have posted 3W 0D 7L from their last 10 away outings — 0.90 PPG. Away from home they average 0.90 goals scored and 1.30 conceded per game. Away from home, both teams have scored in only 30% of games — a low rate that backs BTTS No when they travel.

The points-per-game gap of 0.50 in Krylia Sovetov's favour (1.80 vs 1.30) is a statistically meaningful difference. The hosts are the form pick here, with draw protection the sensible hedge given the away side's competitiveness.

Head-to-Head

Neither side has dominated the 2 H2H matches in our data: 0 wins for Krylia Sovetov, 1 for Fakel and 1 draw — leaving the H2H largely neutral. With only 2 H2H matches to go on, treat this as a light input.

The 2 H2H matches in our data averaged 2.5 goals per game — a neutral rate that gives no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent of those, on 28 May 2023, ended Krylia Sovetov 1–2 Fakel — a Fakel win.

The head-to-head data offers no strong steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the model and current market pricing should carry more weight for this fixture.

Trading Data

Krylia Sovetov goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 36 games, 17 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 59% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 75% of the time; of the 12 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 33%; BTTS occurs in 53% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 41% of games (home games).

Fakel goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 36 games, 17 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 59% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 75% of the time; of the 8 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 50%; of the 9 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 33%; BTTS occurs in 47% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 35% of games (away games).

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Krylia Sovetov 64% versus Fakel 53%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Krylia Sovetov 56% | Fakel 39%). Note also that Fakel surrender HT leads in 50% of cases while Krylia Sovetov recover from half-time deficits to draw or win 33% of the time — a dynamic that could influence in-play positioning.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Krylia Sovetov 1.96 xG and Fakel 1.09 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: Krylia Sovetov attack 1.212 / defence 1.102 | Fakel attack 0.823 / defence 0.987. League average goals — home 1.634 / away 1.202. Data: built from Krylia Sovetov's last 36 games and Fakel's last 36.

Result probabilities: Krylia Sovetov 56% | Draw 25% | Fakel 19%. Fair-value odds: Krylia Sovetov 1.78 | Draw 4.06 | Fakel 5.18. The model has a clear lean to Krylia Sovetov (56%) — a 31pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 59% | BTTS Yes probability 58% | Total xG 3.04. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 59% — the 3.04 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 58% 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 Krylia Sovetov at 56% — clear model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 25% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

On the goals line, Poisson's 3.04 combined xG gives a 59% probability to Over 2.5 — a Poisson-only call with no corroboration from form or H2H.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 58%. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: Krylia Sovetov 60% (last 10 home games) | Fakel 30% (last 10 away games).
