Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Metalist 1925 Kharkiv 0.99 xG and Obolon'-Brovar 1.08 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: Metalist 1925 Kharkiv attack 0.850 / defence 1.150 | Obolon'-Brovar attack 0.936 / defence 1.055. League average goals — home 1.109 / away 1.006. Data: 0 Metalist 1925 Kharkiv games / 30 Obolon'-Brovar games used (PrevSeason). Note: current-season sample is too small — prior-season data is carrying the calculation. Model confidence is reduced; treat probabilities as directional rather than precise.

Result probabilities: Metalist 1925 Kharkiv 32% | Draw 31% | Obolon'-Brovar 37%. Fair-value odds: Metalist 1925 Kharkiv 3.12 | Draw 3.23 | Obolon'-Brovar 2.70. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 31% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 34% | BTTS probability 42% | Total xG 2.08. Under 2.5 is the strongly backed market at 66% probability — total xG of 2.08 sits well below the 2.5 threshold. The model is projecting a tight, low-scoring match based on both sides' defensive quality. BTTS probability of 42% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Obolon'-Brovar at 37% — marginal model lean. Note a divergence: in-form Metalist 1925 Kharkiv (2.33 PPG) cuts against the Poisson lean — consider the strength-adjusted model over surface-level form results. Draw probability of 31% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Obolon'-Brovar if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 32% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

Poisson projects 2.08 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 34% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by form averaging 1.7 goals per game.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 42% on No. Form rates corroborate: Metalist 1925 Kharkiv 33% | Obolon'-Brovar 30% BTTS from recent games.

The outsider holds a 32% 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. The Poisson model is drawing on PrevSeason data (0 games minimum) — early-season projections carry additional uncertainty. Weight the live form and odds signals accordingly.
