Win Probability: Maxline Vitebsk or CS Universitatea Craiova?

To calculate the win probabilities, we started with the bookmakers' odds. The first set of odds (home 1.53, draw 2.60, away 7.50) implies probabilities of 55.8%, 32.8%, and 11.4% after removing the margin. However, these raw figures do not fully account for the head-to-head result and current form. Adjusting for Craiova's 4-1 away win in the first leg and their superior recent record (unbeaten in five, while Maxline lost one), we revised the probabilities. Our final estimates:

• Maxline Vitebsk win: 48%
• Draw: 32%
• CS Universitatea Craiova win: 20%

Maxline is still the most likely winner on the day, but the chances of a draw or an away win are significantly higher than the odds suggest.

Odds & Match Prediction

Bookmakers offer varying odds for this match. The home win is priced between 1.29 and 1.53, the draw between 2.60 and 2.80, and the away win between 7.00 and 11.50. These odds reflect Maxline Vitebsk as the clear favorite. However, the first-leg result and Craiova's form cast doubt on a straightforward home win. Our prediction: Maxline Vitebsk is expected to win, but a draw is a strong possibility. The 20% away win probability means an upset cannot be ruled out. Based on the stats, a bet on 'Maxline Vitebsk to win' carries risk, and the draw odds may offer value.
