Kryvbas KR's form when playing at home: 5W 3D 2L across their last 10 home games (1.80 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.60 goals scored and 0.70 conceded per game.

Karpaty have collected 1.90 PPG across their last 10 games: 6W 1D 3L. Last five: W L W L W. Their scoring rate of 1.40 per game is modest, conceding 0.80 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. Defensively, 0.80 goals conceded per game is elite-level — a side this difficult to score against is a real threat to Over 2.5 and BTTS Yes. 7 clean sheets from 10 games (70%) is an exceptional defensive record — they are keeping clean sheets more often than not. Both teams have scored in only 20% of their fixtures — a very low rate that strongly backs BTTS No.

When travelling, Karpaty have posted 2W 1D 4L from their last 7 away outings — 1.00 PPG. Away from home they average 0.86 goals scored and 1.71 conceded per game. 3 clean sheets from their last 7 away games (43%) shows they are capable of shutting up shop on the road. Their away PPG of 1.00 is notably below their overall 1.90 — form away from home has been a clear weakness recently.

Both sides are running at similar form levels — 1.80 PPG for Kryvbas KR against 1.90 for Karpaty. There is no clear form edge to exploit here; other signals need to take the lead.

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's defence rating of 1.255 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing Kryvbas KR's projected output up. Data: built from Kryvbas KR's last 45 games and Karpaty's last 16.

Result probabilities: Kryvbas KR 59% | Draw 26% | Karpaty 15%. Fair-value odds: Kryvbas KR 1.69 | Draw 3.85 | Karpaty 6.78. The model has a clear lean to Kryvbas KR (59%) — a 33pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 49% | BTTS Yes 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 No at 52% is only a slight lean — the model gives both sides a fair chance of scoring, so No isn't 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 51% — a Poisson-only call with no corroboration from form or H2H.

Poisson assigns a 52% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: Kryvbas KR 50% (last 10 home games) | Karpaty 43% (last 7 away games).
