Why this pick
Why we picked this for Russia vs Malta
Our pick for Russia vs Malta in World Cup is Over 2.5 goals, with 54% confidence. Recent form: 2 of Russia's last 5 games went over 2.5 goals (2.2 goals per game in total), against 4 of 5 for Malta (3.0 per game). That recent scoring pattern is the main reason behind the pick.
Previous meetings agree, with 1 of the last 1 head-to-heads ending over 2.5. With 54% confidence the recent numbers only just favour this side, so this is one of our weaker picks. Final score: 2-0. The pick lost.
