✍️ Match Preview
Fixture Analysis
Ruh Lviv welcome LNZ Cherkasy to Arena Lviv in Premier League (matchday 18). Kick-off is Saturday 22 February 2025 at 16:00 UK time.
Recent Form
Across their last 10 games, Ruh Lviv have gone 2W 5D 3L — a 1.10 PPG return. Last five: W D D W L. They are averaging 0.80 goals per game and conceding 1.10 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%). Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.
Ruh Lviv's home record over their last 10 home games: 4W 3D 3L (1.50 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.50 goals scored and 0.80 conceded per game. 5 clean sheets from their last 10 home games (50%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at home.
Looking at their last 10 matches, LNZ Cherkasy stand at 2W 2D 6L — 0.80 PPG. Last five: L L L L D. Their scoring rate of 1.00 per game is modest, conceding 1.90 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%). Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.
When travelling, LNZ Cherkasy have posted 2W 3D 5L from their last 10 away outings — 0.90 PPG. Away from home they average 1.10 goals scored and 1.90 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 80% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture.
The form comparison is too close to call — 1.10 PPG (Ruh Lviv) versus 0.80 (LNZ Cherkasy). When the figures are this level, no pick can be reliably derived from recent results alone.
H2H
The H2H picture is flat: the 3 H2H matches we hold have produced 1 wins for Ruh Lviv, 2 for LNZ Cherkasy and 0 draws. Form and model data should carry more weight here. With only 3 H2H matches to go on, treat this as a light input.
The 3 H2H matches in our data averaged 2.7 goals per game — a neutral rate that gives no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent of those, on 18 Aug 2024, ended Ruh Lviv 1–3 LNZ Cherkasy — a LNZ Cherkasy win.
The head-to-head data offers no strong steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the model and current market pricing should carry more weight for this fixture.
Trading Patterns
Ruh Lviv in-play and half-time data (last 47 games, 23 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 70% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 53% of the time; of the 14 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 50%; BTTS occurs in 56% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 35% of games (home games).
LNZ Cherkasy in-play and half-time data (last 47 games, 23 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 70% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 73% of the time; of the 9 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 33%; of the 18 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 28%; BTTS occurs in 56% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 39% of games (away games); they fail to score in 34% of games.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Ruh Lviv 55% versus LNZ Cherkasy 51%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Ruh Lviv 36% | LNZ Cherkasy 45%). Note also that LNZ Cherkasy surrender HT leads in 33% of cases while Ruh Lviv recover from half-time deficits to draw or win 50% of the time — a dynamic that could influence in-play positioning.
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Ruh Lviv 1.50 xG and LNZ Cherkasy 1.03 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: Ruh Lviv attack 0.988 / defence 1.011 | LNZ Cherkasy attack 0.952 / defence 1.261. League average goals — home 1.201 / away 1.066. LNZ Cherkasy's defence rating of 1.261 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing Ruh Lviv's projected output up. Data: built from Ruh Lviv's last 47 games and LNZ Cherkasy's last 47.
Result probabilities: Ruh Lviv 47% | Draw 27% | LNZ Cherkasy 25%. Fair-value odds: Ruh Lviv 2.11 | Draw 3.68 | LNZ Cherkasy 3.95. Ruh Lviv hold a narrow Poisson edge at 47% — the draw (27%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 46% | BTTS Yes probability 50% | Total xG 2.52. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 46%/54% — the total xG of 2.52 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 50% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Summary & Verdict
The Poisson model's primary lean is Ruh Lviv at 47% — moderate model lean. With a 27% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Ruh Lviv offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.
The Poisson model projects 2.52 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 54% — a Poisson-only call with no corroboration from form or H2H.
On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 50% on Yes. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Ruh Lviv 40% (last 10 home games) | LNZ Cherkasy 80% (last 10 away games).

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
LNZ Cherkasy beat Ruh Lviv 0-1 at Arena Lviv, Regular Season - 18, in the Premier League. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Ruh Lviv 1.50 xG and LNZ Cherkasy 1.03 xG, a combined 2.52. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Ruh Lviv fell 1.5 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Ruh Lviv attack 0.99 / defence 1.01 against LNZ Cherkasy attack 0.95 / defence 1.26, drawn from 47/47 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Ruh Lviv 47% | Draw 27% | LNZ Cherkasy 25%, with Ruh Lviv to win its most likely call at 47%. Instead the game produced a LNZ Cherkasy win, an outcome the model had rated at just 25% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 46%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 72% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 50% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 40% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Ruh Lviv 36%, LNZ Cherkasy 45%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 53%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Ruh Lviv's trading profile (47 games, 23 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 55% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 36% of the time, and conceded here.
LNZ Cherkasy's trading profile (47 games, 23 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 51% of their matches — today it did not.
Form vs Result
The form lines were close — Ruh Lviv 1.53 PPG, LNZ Cherkasy 1.28 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the LNZ Cherkasy win broke the near-deadlock. Ruh Lviv (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.39 scoring average — below par going forward. LNZ Cherkasy (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.35 average — tighter than their form line.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (miss). The data was on the wrong side of this result more often than not — a reminder that a single match sits well inside the model's variance.
