Form Guide
Zorya Luhansk — All Games: 5W 3D 2L from 10 Premier League outings this season, averaging 1.80 points per game. Last five: W L W L D. They are averaging 1.30 goals per game and conceding 1.20 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets. Zorya Luhansk have played only a handful of Premier League games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.
Zorya Luhansk at this season: 5W 2D 3L from 10 home games — 1.70 PPG on home soil. At home they are averaging 1.30 goals scored and 0.90 conceded per game. 6 clean sheets from 10 home games (60%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at . At home, both teams have scored in only 30% of games — reinforcing BTTS No as the home-venue-backed angle.
Looking at all fixtures this season, Epitsentr Dunayivtsi stand at 3W 6D 1L from 10 Premier League matches — 1.50 PPG. Last five: W L D W D. They are scoring at 1.50 per game and conceding 1.00. 5 clean sheets from 10 games (50%) is an exceptional defensive record — they are keeping clean sheets more often than not. Epitsentr Dunayivtsi have played only a handful of Premier League games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.
Epitsentr Dunayivtsi away from home this season: 2W 4D 4L from 10 away games — 1.00 PPG on the road. Away from home they average 1.30 goals scored and 1.80 conceded per game. Their away PPG of 1.00 is notably below their overall 1.50 — form away from home has been a clear weakness this season.
There is minimal separation in the form figures — Zorya Luhansk at 1.80 PPG versus Epitsentr Dunayivtsi's 1.50. The form guide is not providing a strong directional steer; the model and market data will carry more weight in the final assessment.
Head to Head
There is little to separate the sides historically. From 2 previous meetings, Zorya Luhansk have won 2, Epitsentr Dunayivtsi 0, with 0 draws — a balanced ledger that offers no obvious directional steer on its own.
The 2 previous meetings have averaged 2.0 goals per game — a neutral rate that provides no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent clash, on 12 Apr 2026, ended 1–0 with Zorya Luhansk winning.
The head-to-head offers no strong directional steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the predictive model and current market pricing should carry more weight than the historical record for this fixture.
In-Play Profile
Zorya Luhansk in-play tendencies (35 games, 16 at home): they score before half-time in 69% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 60% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 44% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 44% of games (home games).
Epitsentr Dunayivtsi in-play tendencies (35 games, 16 at away): they score before half-time in 75% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 64% of the time; BTTS occurs in 38% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 56% of games (away games); they keep a clean sheet 40% of the time; they fail to score in 40% of games.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Zorya Luhansk 60% versus Epitsentr Dunayivtsi 37%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Zorya Luhansk 54% | Epitsentr Dunayivtsi 49%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Zorya Luhansk 1.06 xG and Epitsentr Dunayivtsi 1.60 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: Zorya Luhansk attack 0.930 / defence 1.177 | Epitsentr Dunayivtsi attack 1.241 / defence 0.914. League average goals — home 1.248 / away 1.099. Epitsentr Dunayivtsi have an above-average attack strength of 1.241 — the away xG of 1.60 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Data: 34 Zorya Luhansk games / 34 Epitsentr Dunayivtsi games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Zorya Luhansk 24% | Draw 28% | Epitsentr Dunayivtsi 48%. Fair-value odds: Zorya Luhansk 4.17 | Draw 3.57 | Epitsentr Dunayivtsi 2.08. Epitsentr Dunayivtsi hold a narrow Poisson edge at 48% — the draw (28%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 50% | BTTS probability 54% | Total xG 2.67. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 50%/50% — the total xG of 2.67 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 54% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Analysis Verdict
On the Poisson output, Epitsentr Dunayivtsi are the pick at 48% — moderate model lean. With a 28% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Epitsentr Dunayivtsi offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.
Poisson projects 2.67 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 50% probability — Poisson-only — limited corroboration conviction.
The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 54%. This conflicts with form data: Zorya Luhansk 30% | Epitsentr Dunayivtsi 40% from recent games — a notable divergence.
