The two sides

FC Rostov carry a model rating of 6.3 against 6.11 for Rubin. 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 Rostov L-W-D; Rubin L-W.

What the model expects

Under the hood the model expects 2.10 goals for FC Rostov and 1.05 for Rubin. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

FC Rostov rate 0.58 in attack and 1.75 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Rubin rate 0.43 and 1.92.

That points to 61% for over two and a half goals and 58% for both teams to score.

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