Ural vs Nizhny Novgorod Prediction, Odds & Statistics

Our Poisson-based model projects 1.25 expected goals for Ural and 1.63 for Nizhny Novgorod, a combined total of 2.88.

Goals markets follow the same shape: 55% for over 2.5 goals and 57% for both teams to score, with 1–1 the single most likely scoreline at 12%. Probabilities are statistical estimates and carry meaningful uncertainty — a 46% favourite still loses or draws a large share of the time.

Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Nizhny Novgorod win, at 46.1%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–1.

It puts both teams scoring at 57% and over 2.5 goals at 55%.

A 46% 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.
