Obolon'-Brovar goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (34 games, 16 at away): they score before half-time in 60% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 46% of the time; BTTS occurs in 31% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 56% of games (away games); they fail to score in 50% of games.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Shakhtar Donetsk 41% versus Obolon'-Brovar 41%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Shakhtar Donetsk 59% | Obolon'-Brovar 50%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Shakhtar Donetsk 1.12 xG and Obolon'-Brovar 0.69 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: Shakhtar Donetsk attack 1.010 / defence 1.001 | Obolon'-Brovar attack 0.642 / defence 0.931. League average goals — home 1.196 / away 1.082. Data: 34 Shakhtar Donetsk games / 33 Obolon'-Brovar games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Shakhtar Donetsk 44% | Draw 35% | Obolon'-Brovar 21%. Fair-value odds: Shakhtar Donetsk 2.27 | Draw 2.86 | Obolon'-Brovar 4.76. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 35% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 27% | BTTS probability 36% | Total xG 1.82. Under 2.5 is the strongly backed market at 73% probability — total xG of 1.82 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 36% 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 Shakhtar Donetsk at 44% — marginal model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 35% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Shakhtar Donetsk if the outright odds are short.
Poisson projects 1.82 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 27% probability — Poisson-only — limited corroboration conviction — though H2H averaging only 3.3 goals per meeting points in the other direction.
On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 36% on No. Form rates corroborate: Shakhtar Donetsk 20% | Obolon'-Brovar 20% BTTS from recent games.
