The two sides

Spartak Moscow carry a model rating of 6.36 against 6.16 for FC Orenburg. 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): Spartak Moscow W-W-L; FC Orenburg W-L-D-D.

The model expects a tight, low-scoring game

Under the hood the model expects 1.38 goals for Spartak Moscow and 0.62 for FC Orenburg. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Spartak Moscow rate 0.49 in attack and 1.35 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; FC Orenburg rate 0.33 and 1.49.

That points to 32% for over two and a half goals and 35% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 1-0 (18%), 0-0 (14%), 2-0 (13%).
