The model's edge

The draw probability sits at 0%.

This conclusion stops holding if Lokomotiv Penza find a way through Yenisey-STM's defensive structure in the opening period. A first-half lead would force the hosts to play differently, and models don't read the pitch. If the visitors score first, the expected goals shift toward a tighter contest.

Yenisey-STM win comfortably. Yenisey-STM have scored 47 goals in a 47-5 victory at home in June 2025 and 48 in a 48-20 away win in August 2025. Lokomotiv Penza have not scored more than 20 goals in a single match against them since September 2024.

The visitors have conceded 142 points in five games. That is an average of 28.4 per match. Yenisey-STM have scored 175 in five matches, averaging 35. The gap is not marginal. It is structural.

Yenisey-STM win comfortably. If Lokomotiv Penza score first, or if Yenisey-STM drop points early, the margin shrinks.
