Head-to-Head

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Zorya Luhansk 1.35 xG and LNZ Cherkasy 1.01 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 0.870 / defence 0.974 | LNZ Cherkasy attack 0.958 / defence 1.321. League average goals — home 1.173 / away 1.084. LNZ Cherkasy bring a strong defensive rating of 1.321 — this is suppressing Zorya Luhansk's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 41 Zorya Luhansk games / 41 LNZ Cherkasy games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Zorya Luhansk 43% | Draw 30% | LNZ Cherkasy 27%. Fair-value odds: Zorya Luhansk 2.33 | Draw 3.33 | LNZ Cherkasy 3.70. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 30% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 42% | BTTS probability 48% | Total xG 2.36. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 58% — total xG of 2.36 is below the line but not decisively so. 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 Zorya Luhansk as the most likely outcome at 43% — marginal model lean. Draw probability of 30% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Zorya Luhansk if the outright odds are short.

Poisson projects 2.36 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 42% probability — Poisson-only — limited corroboration conviction.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 48% on No. Form rates are neutral: Zorya Luhansk 40% | LNZ Cherkasy 70%.
