Looking at all fixtures this season, Epitsentr Dunayivtsi stand at 3W 4D 3L from 10 Premier League matches — 1.30 PPG. Last five: D W D L L. They are averaging 1.00 goals per game and conceding 1.00 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 5 clean sheets from 10 games (50%) is a standout defensive return — they are keeping their net clean in more than half their matches. Both teams have scored in only 20% of their games — a low BTTS rate that suggests clean sheets are a regular occurrence.

Kolos Kovalivka have played only a handful of Premier League games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.

H2H

The H2H landscape is flat: 2 previous encounters have yielded 1 wins for Epitsentr Dunayivtsi, 1 for Kolos Kovalivka and 0 draws. A neutral reading in isolation.

The 2 previous meetings have averaged 2.5 goals per game — a neutral rate that provides no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent clash, on 7 Mar 2026, ended 4–0 with Epitsentr Dunayivtsi 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

Epitsentr Dunayivtsi in-play tendencies (36 games, 19 at home): they score before half-time in 47% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 57% of the time; BTTS occurs in 37% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 42% of games (home games); they fail to score in 42% of games.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Epitsentr Dunayivtsi 36% versus Kolos Kovalivka 39%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Epitsentr Dunayivtsi 50% | Kolos Kovalivka 31%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Epitsentr Dunayivtsi 1.08 xG and Kolos Kovalivka 1.17 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: Epitsentr Dunayivtsi attack 0.753 / defence 0.966 | Kolos Kovalivka attack 1.163 / defence 1.168. League average goals — home 1.226 / away 1.042. Epitsentr Dunayivtsi's attack strength of 0.753 is below the league average — the 1.08 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Data: 37 Epitsentr Dunayivtsi games / 36 Kolos Kovalivka games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Epitsentr Dunayivtsi 30% | Draw 35% | Kolos Kovalivka 35%. Fair-value odds: Epitsentr Dunayivtsi 3.33 | Draw 2.86 | Kolos Kovalivka 2.86. The draw (35%) is the Poisson-preferred outcome — neither side is more likely to win than to draw, making draw-inclusive markets the most model-aligned approach.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 39% | BTTS probability 49% | Total xG 2.25. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 61% — total xG of 2.25 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 49% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Our Verdict

The Poisson model's preferred outcome is the draw at 35% — neither side is more likely to win than to draw. Draw-inclusive markets are the most model-aligned approach. Home win at 30% and away win at 35% are close enough that backing either outright carries significant draw exposure.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.25 combined xG gives a 39% probability to Under 2.5 — reasonable, supported by form averaging 2.1 goals per game.

Poisson assigns a 49% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Epitsentr Dunayivtsi 20% | Kolos Kovalivka 50% BTTS from recent games.

The outsider holds a 30% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should not be treated as one. Proportionate stakes are appropriate given the genuine contest the data projects.
