The line moved overnight: away odds dropped from 3.98 to 3.38 while home odds drifted from 1.81 to 2.1, suggesting the market is nervous about the visitors despite their better position.

The model expects a tight match. Sportist Svoge are projected to score 1.2 goals, Lokomotiv 0.9. The draw probability sits at 29%, both teams to score at 41%, and three or more goals at 35%. The most likely scoreline is 1:0 at 15%, followed by 1:1 at 13% and 0:0 at 12%. Sportist's scoring pattern shows they are dangerous early and late — 29% of their goals in the first 15 minutes, another 29% between 61 and 75 minutes, and 29% in the final 15. Lokomotiv's weakness in the opening quarter could work against them if Sportist strike first.
