Match Analysis

Dnipro-1 host Ruh Lviv at Dnipro Arena in Premier League (matchday 20). Kick-off is Friday 8 March 2024 at 11:00 UK time.

Recent Form

Across their last 10 games, Dnipro-1 have gone 6W 2D 2L — a 2.00 PPG return. Last five: W L D D W. Offensively they are averaging 1.80 goals per game, with 1.20 conceded. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings (30%). Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.

Dnipro-1's form when playing at home: 5W 3D 2L across their last 10 home games (1.80 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.50 goals scored and 0.90 conceded per game. 4 home clean sheets from their last 10 home games (40%) — a solid defensive base on their own ground. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture.

Looking at their last 10 matches, Ruh Lviv stand at 3W 5D 2L — 1.40 PPG. Last five: L D D D W. Their scoring rate of 1.30 per game is modest, conceding 1.20 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings (30%).

Ruh Lviv away from home: 6W 2D 2L from their last 10 away games — 2.00 PPG on the road. They are averaging 1.80 goals per away game — strong road scoring that makes them a threat even without home support. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context. Their away PPG of 2.00 exceeds their overall 1.40 — they actually perform better on the road than their aggregate form implies.

Dnipro-1 carry the stronger recent momentum — 0.60 PPG ahead of their opponents on 2.00 vs 1.40. The form data is a point in their favour, and where the price allows, it is the cleaner directional bet.

The BTTS market is worth targeting here. Both teams have scored in 60% of Dnipro-1's games and 60% of Ruh Lviv's (from Dnipro-1's last 10 home games and Ruh Lviv's last 10 away games) — both sides above the 60% threshold gives BTTS Yes firm statistical grounding.

Head to Head

The head-to-head sample comes down firmly in favour of Dnipro-1: 4 wins from 4 H2H matches against 0 for Ruh Lviv, with 0 draws.

The 4 H2H matches in our data have been high-scoring — 3.5 goals per game on average — which backs the Over 2.5 market from the head-to-head side. The most recent of those, on 1 Nov 2023, ended Dnipro-1 2–0 Ruh Lviv — a Dnipro-1 win.

From a betting standpoint, the H2H data backs both Dnipro-1 and goals — 4 wins from 4 H2H matches and an average of 3.5 goals per game give the home win and Over 2.5 combination a head-to-head case.

Trading Patterns

Dnipro-1 in-play and half-time data (last 49 games, 24 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 71% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 93% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 67% of those occasions; of the 7 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 29%; BTTS occurs in 58% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 58% of games (home games); they keep a clean sheet 43% of the time.

Ruh Lviv in-play and half-time data (last 49 games, 24 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 75% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 53% of the time; of the 10 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 30%; of the 15 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 40%; BTTS occurs in 46% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 46% of games (away games); they fail to score in 35% of games.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Dnipro-1 51% versus Ruh Lviv 55%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Dnipro-1 55% | Ruh Lviv 41%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Dnipro-1 1.19 xG and Ruh Lviv 1.29 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Dnipro-1 attack 1.155 / defence 1.000 | Ruh Lviv attack 1.090 / defence 0.932. League average goals — home 1.105 / away 1.184. Data: built from Dnipro-1's last 49 games and Ruh Lviv's last 49.

Result probabilities: Dnipro-1 32% | Draw 31% | Ruh Lviv 37%. Fair-value odds: Dnipro-1 3.11 | Draw 3.24 | Ruh Lviv 2.70. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 31% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 45% | BTTS Yes probability 52% | Total xG 2.48. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 55% — total xG of 2.48 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS Yes at 52% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Summary & Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Ruh Lviv at 37% — marginal model lean. Note a divergence: in-form Dnipro-1 (2.00 PPG) cuts against the Poisson lean — the model adjusts for opposition strength, which raw form results do not. With a 31% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Ruh Lviv offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 32% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

The Poisson model projects 2.48 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 55% — low conviction — though the H2H data averaging 3.5 goals per game across 4 H2H matches points the other way.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 52% on Yes. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Dnipro-1 60% (last 10 home games) | Ruh Lviv 60% (last 10 away games).
