Zenit vs Akhmat Prediction, Odds & Statistics
Our Poisson-based model projects 2.30 expected goals for Zenit and 1.13 for Akhmat, a combined total of 3.43.

Goals markets follow the same shape: 67% for over 2.5 goals and 61% for both teams to score, with 2–1 the single most likely scoreline at 10%. Probabilities are statistical estimates and carry meaningful uncertainty — a 64% favourite still loses or draws a large share of the time.

Prediction conclusion
The model's leading selection is Zenit win, at 63.6%. Its single most likely scoreline is 2–1.
It puts both teams scoring at 61% and over 2.5 goals at 67%.
A 64% 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.
