Form Guide

Karpaty — last 10 games: 4W 4D 2L, averaging 1.60 points per game. Last five: D L D D W. Offensively they are averaging 1.80 goals per game, with 0.70 conceded. Defensively, conceding just 0.70 per game is an exceptional defensive record. 5 clean sheets from 10 games (50%) is a standout defensive return — they are keeping their net clean in more than half their matches.

Karpaty's form when playing at home: 5W 3D 2L across their last 10 home games (1.80 PPG). They are averaging 2.00 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. 6 clean sheets from their last 10 home games (60%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at home.

Across their last 10 games, Livyi Bereh have recorded 2W 6D 2L — 1.20 PPG. Last five: W L L D D. Their scoring rate of 0.80 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. 5 clean sheets from 10 games (50%) is an exceptional defensive record — they are keeping clean sheets more often than not.

Livyi Bereh's form when playing away from home: 1W 4D 1L across their last 6 road games (1.17 PPG). Away from home they average 1.00 goals scored and 0.83 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 67% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context.

There is minimal separation in the form figures — Karpaty at 1.60 PPG versus Livyi Bereh's 1.20. The form guide is not providing a strong directional steer; the model and market data will carry more weight in the final assessment.

H2H Record

The H2H picture is flat: the 3 H2H matches we hold have produced 2 wins for Karpaty, 0 for Livyi Bereh and 1 draw. Form and model data should carry more weight here. With only 3 H2H matches to go on, treat this as a light input.

Goals have been a feature of this fixture — the 3 H2H matches in our data averaged 3.3 per game, which gives Over 2.5 a solid head-to-head foundation. The most recent of those, on 29 Aug 2026, ended Karpaty 1–1 Livyi Bereh — a draw.

With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H signal is in the goals market — at 3.3 goals per game, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle from the head-to-head data.

Trading Patterns

Karpaty in-play and half-time data (last 12 games, 6 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 67% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 80% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 60% of those occasions; of the 4 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 50%; BTTS occurs in 50% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 83% of games (home games); they keep a clean sheet 42% of the time.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Karpaty 50% versus Livyi Bereh 50%; no strong lean in either direction. Under 2.5 goals has backing from the in-play data — both teams register low Over 2.5 rates (Karpaty 58% | Livyi Bereh 17%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Karpaty 1.70 xG and Livyi Bereh 0.91 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 1.391 / defence 0.960 | Livyi Bereh attack 0.913 / defence 0.956. League average goals — home 1.278 / away 1.040. Karpaty carry an above-average attack rating of 1.391 — their 1.70 xG reflects attacking quality above the league norm. Data: built from Karpaty's last 41 games and Livyi Bereh's last 10.

Result probabilities: Karpaty 53% | Draw 31% | Livyi Bereh 17%. Fair-value odds: Karpaty 1.90 | Draw 3.25 | Livyi Bereh 6.01. Karpaty hold a narrow Poisson edge at 53% — the draw (31%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 48% | BTTS Yes probability 52% | Total xG 2.61. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 48%/52% — the total xG of 2.61 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 52% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Analysis Verdict

On the Poisson output, Karpaty are the pick at 53% — moderate model lean. With a 31% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Karpaty offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

Poisson projects 2.61 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 52% probability — low conviction — though the H2H data averaging 3.3 goals per game across 3 H2H matches points the other way.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 52%. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: Karpaty 40% (last 10 home games) | Livyi Bereh 67% (last 6 away games).
