The two sides
FC Orenburg carry a model rating of 6.14 against 6.31 for Lokomotiv. 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 Orenburg W-L; Lokomotiv D-L-D.
The model expects a tight, low-scoring game
Under the hood the model expects 1.00 goals for FC Orenburg and 1.10 for Lokomotiv. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
FC Orenburg rate 0.35 in attack and 1.57 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Lokomotiv rate 0.50 and 1.51.
That points to 35% for over two and a half goals and 43% for both teams to score.
The three most likely scorelines are 1-1 (14%), 0-0 (13%), 0-1 (13%).
Where the model differs from the table
The table and the model disagree here: the standings favour FC Orenburg, while our numbers lean the other way. The model weights recent expected goals rather than results already banked, so it moves before the table does.
