Trading Data

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Kryvbas KR 50% versus Karpaty 38%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Kryvbas KR 38% | Karpaty 56%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Kryvbas KR 1.81 xG and Karpaty 0.82 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: Kryvbas KR attack 1.139 / defence 0.945 | Karpaty attack 0.850 / defence 1.255. League average goals — home 1.268 / away 1.016. Karpaty bring a strong defensive rating of 1.255 — this is suppressing Kryvbas KR's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 45 Kryvbas KR games / 16 Karpaty games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Kryvbas KR 59% | Draw 26% | Karpaty 15%. Fair-value odds: Kryvbas KR 1.69 | Draw 3.85 | Karpaty 6.67. The model has a clear lean to Kryvbas KR (59%) — a 44pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 49% | BTTS probability 48% | Total xG 2.63. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 49%/51% — the total xG of 2.63 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 48% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Kryvbas KR as the most likely outcome at 59% — clear model lean. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 26% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

The Poisson model projects 2.63 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 49% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence.

Poisson assigns a 48% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates are neutral: Kryvbas KR 50% | Karpaty 43%.
