Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Karpaty 1.77 xG and Kolos Kovalivka 1.15 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: Karpaty attack 1.234 / defence 0.951 | Kolos Kovalivka attack 1.164 / defence 1.170. League average goals — home 1.225 / away 1.042.

Result probabilities: Karpaty 49% | Draw 29% | Kolos Kovalivka 22%. Fair-value odds: Karpaty 2.04 | Draw 3.45 | Kolos Kovalivka 4.55. Karpaty hold a narrow Poisson edge at 49% — the draw (29%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 56% | BTTS probability 59% | Total xG 2.92. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 56% — the 2.92 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS probability of 59% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Picks & Verdict

On the Poisson output, Karpaty are the pick at 49% — moderate model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 29% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Karpaty if the outright odds are short.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.92 combined xG gives a 56% probability to Over 2.5 — Poisson-only — limited corroboration — though H2H averaging only 1.8 goals per meeting points in the other direction.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 59%. Form rates are neutral: Karpaty 40% | Kolos Kovalivka 50%.
