Why the model disagrees with the market
The leading outcome: FK Krasnodar to win
What the model's reading is made of
- The model makes FK Krasnodar to win 39.2%. The market, with the bookmaker's margin taken out, makes it 32.3%. The gap between the two is 6.9%.
- The model's expected goals for FK Krasnodar are their own fitted attack times the defence in front of them, and the fit rates that attack at 1.28 — above the competition's average of 1.00.
These are the parts of the model's own number, not an account of the bookmaker's. The fit reads two ratings a side, the competition's average home and away expected goals, the window it looks back over and how many matches it found in it — and nothing else is a reason this page can give.
What the model did not read
| Reading | FK Krasnodar | Zenit St. Petersburg |
|---|---|---|
| Form — xG difference, the last 6 matches | +0.70 | +1.21 |
| Goals scored minus expected | -0.78 | +0.00 |
| Points won minus expected | +0.26 | +0.00 |
All of this is in the database and none of it entered the fit. A reading here may point the other way from every line above it — where it does, both are true, and only one of them is in the model.

How value is calculated
Value is probability × odds − 1 — it pays on average and over the long run, not necessarily in this match. The model knows nothing of absences, motivation or the schedule.
Nothing you type is remembered.

Limitations
The model reads expected goals and nothing else. It does not know the lineups, who is injured or suspended, what either side has to play for, the weather, or how congested the schedule around this match is.
