Baltika vs Zenit Prediction, Odds & Statistics

Our Poisson-based model projects 0.98 expected goals for Baltika and 1.55 for Zenit, a combined total of 2.53. That distribution gives Zenit the largest share of the 1X2 market at 51%, with the draw at 26%. Goals markets follow the same shape: 46% for over 2.5 goals and 49% for both teams to score, with 0–1 the single most likely scoreline at 12%. Probabilities are statistical estimates and carry meaningful uncertainty — a 51% favourite still loses or draws a large share of the time.

Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Zenit win, at 50.7%. Its single most likely scoreline is 0–1.

It puts both teams scoring at 49% and over 2.5 goals at 46%.

A 51% selection is expected to miss in the remaining share of matches, and football regularly produces red cards, injuries and tactical changes the data cannot see. Treat this as a probability, not a forecast of the result.
