The two sides

FC Krasnodar carry a model rating of 6.57 against 6.29 for FC Rostov. The scale is anchored so that an average side in one of Europe's big five leagues sits at 6.85, and it is adjusted for the strength of each team's league, so the two numbers are comparable even across borders.

Recent form (most recent last): FC Krasnodar W-W-W; FC Rostov L-W-D.

The model expects goals

Under the hood the model expects 2.40 goals for FC Krasnodar and 1.02 for FC Rostov. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

FC Krasnodar rate 0.69 in attack and 1.22 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; FC Rostov rate 0.60 and 1.84.

That points to 66% for over two and a half goals and 59% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 2-1 (10%), 2-0 (9%), 1-1 (8%).
