Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Bukovyna 1.16 xG and Epitsentr Dunayivtsi 0.95 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: Bukovyna attack 0.858 / defence 0.838 | Epitsentr Dunayivtsi attack 1.089 / defence 1.107. League average goals — home 1.225 / away 1.042. Data: 7 Bukovyna games / 37 Epitsentr Dunayivtsi games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Bukovyna 37% | Draw 36% | Epitsentr Dunayivtsi 27%. Fair-value odds: Bukovyna 2.70 | Draw 2.78 | Epitsentr Dunayivtsi 3.70. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 36% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 35% | BTTS probability 45% | Total xG 2.11. Under 2.5 is the strongly backed market at 65% probability — total xG of 2.11 sits well below the 2.5 threshold. The model is projecting a tight, low-scoring match based on both sides' defensive quality. BTTS probability of 45% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Bukovyna as the most likely outcome at 37% — marginal model lean. Draw probability of 36% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Bukovyna if the outright odds are short.

The Poisson model projects 2.11 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 35% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence.

Poisson assigns a 45% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Bukovyna 25% | Epitsentr Dunayivtsi 40% BTTS from recent games.
