Top 3 by league goals this season. Player availability is not part of the model — injuries and suspensions are a planned improvement.
Two sides the ratings cannot separate
Zenit carry a model rating of 6.68 against 6.58 for Dynamo. 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.
A gap that small is inside the noise of the rating itself — treat the two as level.
Recent form (most recent last): Zenit W-W-L; Dynamo D-L-W.
The model expects goals
Under the hood the model expects 2.00 goals for Zenit and 1.23 for Dynamo. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
Zenit rate 0.69 in attack and 1.01 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Dynamo rate 0.87 and 1.53.
That points to 63% for over two and a half goals and 62% for both teams to score.
The three most likely scorelines are 1-1 (10%), 2-1 (10%), 2-0 (8%).
