A Premier League encounter, Regular Season - 16 sees Bukovyna travel to to take on LNZ Cherkasy. The game is scheduled for Saturday 12 December 2026, 16:00 UTC.
Form Guide
LNZ Cherkasy — All Games: 4W 3D 3L from 10 Premier League outings this season, averaging 1.50 points per game. Last five: L W L D W. They are averaging 0.80 goals per game and conceding 0.60 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. Defensively, conceding just 0.60 per game is an exceptional defensive record — one of the tightest in the division. 6 clean sheets from 10 games (60%) is a standout defensive return — they are keeping their net clean in more than half their matches. Both teams have scored in only 10% of their games — a low BTTS rate that suggests clean sheets are a regular occurrence. LNZ Cherkasy have played only a handful of Premier League games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.
LNZ Cherkasy's home record at : 5W 3D 2L from 10 Premier League appearances (1.80 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.50 goals scored and 0.80 conceded per game. 5 clean sheets from 10 home games (50%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at .
Across all Premier League games this season, Bukovyna have recorded 1W 3D 1L from 5 outings — 1.20 PPG. Last five: D D L W D. Their scoring rate of 0.60 per game is modest, conceding 0.60 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. Defensively, 0.60 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. 4 clean sheets from 5 games (80%) is an exceptional defensive record — they are keeping clean sheets more often than not. Bukovyna have played only a handful of Premier League games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.
The form figures are too closely matched to derive a directional pick: LNZ Cherkasy 1.50 PPG, Bukovyna 1.20 PPG. Look to other data sets to build the analysis.
H2H
The rivalry is an even one: 0 wins apiece for LNZ Cherkasy, 0 for Bukovyna and 1 shared spoils from 1 past contests. Neither side holds a meaningful historical edge.
The last 1 meetings have been tight affairs, averaging just 0.0 goals per game. That low-scoring pattern is a meaningful historical input for the Under 2.5 market. The most recent clash, on 3 Aug 2026, ended 0–0 with a draw.
With a balanced win record and just 0.0 goals per game historically, the H2H points toward a tight, low-scoring contest. Under 2.5 goals has the strongest statistical grounding from the fixture history regardless of which side wins.

Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects LNZ Cherkasy 1.49 xG and Bukovyna 0.65 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: LNZ Cherkasy attack 1.108 / defence 0.924 | Bukovyna attack 0.648 / defence 1.127. League average goals — home 1.195 / away 1.079. Data: 36 LNZ Cherkasy games / 5 Bukovyna games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: LNZ Cherkasy 55% | Draw 31% | Bukovyna 14%. Fair-value odds: LNZ Cherkasy 1.82 | Draw 3.23 | Bukovyna 7.14. The model has a clear lean to LNZ Cherkasy (55%) — a 41pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 36% | BTTS probability 39% | Total xG 2.14. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 64% — total xG of 2.14 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 39% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Our Verdict
Poisson rates LNZ Cherkasy as the most likely outcome at 55% — clear model lean. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 31% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.
The Poisson model projects 2.14 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 36% — reasonable confidence, supported by form averaging 1.8 goals per game.
On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 39% on No. Form rates corroborate: LNZ Cherkasy 40% | Bukovyna 0% BTTS from recent games.
