📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Polessya and Shakhtar Donetsk finished level at 0-0 at Tsentralnyi Stadion, Regular Season - 9, in the Premier League. The remainder of the report sets that outcome against the pre-match model, the markets and the teams' data profiles.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Polessya 1.07 xG and Shakhtar Donetsk 1.36 xG, a combined 2.44. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Polessya fell 1.1 short of their projected output. Shakhtar Donetsk landed 1.4 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Polessya attack 1.11 / defence 0.81 against Shakhtar Donetsk attack 1.26 / defence 0.83, drawn from 38/38 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Polessya 29% | Draw 28% | Shakhtar Donetsk 43%, with Shakhtar Donetsk to win its most likely call at 43%. The actual draw had been the model's second-ranked read at 28%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 44%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 70% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 49% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 43% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Polessya 34%, Shakhtar Donetsk 53%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 51%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Polessya's trading profile (38 games, 19 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 53% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 37% of the time, and duly kept one.

Shakhtar Donetsk's trading profile (38 games, 19 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 50% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 45% of the time, and duly kept one.

Form vs Result

Polessya (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.32 scoring average — below par going forward. Shakhtar Donetsk (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.79 scoring average — below par going forward.
