Percentiles from 0 to 100: 90 means better than 90% of clubs in the league, or in the world. Higher means more of that quality. The profile describes the club. It is not part of the score. Missing bars mean there is not enough data yet. How the profile works.

This season they are taking 2.18 points a game from 11 matches, while their performances have been worth 1.68. That is 5.5 points more than the football deserved, which our model calls lucky. Their opponents this season have averaged a rating of 1290, about the league average.

For context, the next one below is Spartak Moskva, rated 1477. Their lead over the second-best side is 23 rating points.

Compared with the rest of their league, their style stands out for very high possession.

On rating, they play like a tier-2 side, 1 tier above the level of their own league.

The Premier League (Russia) itself is 6th–56th in our world league ranking, where its average club is 1.17 goals per 90 worse than the top-five average. This league is provisional: its clubs have played no matches against other leagues' clubs, so we show a range, not a rank.

How sure are we? Confidence in this rating is low: the range of 34th to 274th is where the club's true world rank sits four times in five. Results to 25 Oct 2026.
