Fixture Analysis
It is a Premier League clash, Regular Season - 19 as Shakhtar Donetsk welcome Oleksandria to Arena Lviv. Kick-off is set for Saturday 1 March 2025 at 16:00 UTC.
Recent Form
Across all Premier League games this season, Shakhtar Donetsk have gone 7W 2D 1L from 10 outings — a 2.30 PPG return. Last five: W D W L W. They are averaging 2.30 goals per game — a high-scoring output that makes them a genuine attacking threat in any fixture. Defensively, conceding just 0.70 per game is an exceptional defensive record — one of the tightest in the division. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets. This season is still relatively young for Shakhtar Donetsk, so this record blends games from this season and last.
At home at Arena Lviv, Shakhtar Donetsk have gone 8W 1D 1L this season (10 games, 2.50 PPG). They are averaging 3.00 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture.
Looking at all fixtures this season, Oleksandria stand at 6W 3D 1L from 10 Premier League matches — 2.10 PPG. Last five: W D L D W. Their scoring rate of 1.40 per game is modest, conceding 0.70 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. Defensively, 0.70 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. 5 clean sheets from 10 games (50%) is an exceptional defensive record — they are keeping clean sheets more often than not. This season is still relatively young for Oleksandria, so this record blends games from this season and last.
Oleksandria's away record: 4W 4D 2L from 10 road trips in Premier League this season (1.60 PPG). Away from home they average 1.30 goals scored and 1.00 conceded per game. 5 away clean sheets from 10 games (50%) — they are as difficult to score against on the road as they are at home. Their away PPG of 1.60 is notably below their overall 2.10 — form away from home has been a clear weakness this season.
The form comparison is too close to call — 2.30 PPG (Shakhtar Donetsk) versus 2.10 (Oleksandria). When the figures are this level, no pick can be reliably derived from recent results alone.
H2H
The rivalry is an even one: 3 wins apiece for Shakhtar Donetsk, 2 for Oleksandria and 2 shared spoils from 7 past contests. Neither side holds a meaningful historical edge.
Goals have been a feature of this fixture. The last 7 meetings have averaged 3.6 per game — a rate that gives the Over 2.5 market a solid historical foundation. The most recent clash, on 24 Aug 2024, ended 3–4 with Oleksandria winning.
With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H-derived signal is in the goals market. At 3.6 goals per game historically, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle to extract from the head-to-head data.
In-Play Profile
Shakhtar Donetsk in-play tendencies (47 games, 21 at home): they score before half-time in 81% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 92% of the time; they lead at the break 57% of the time; BTTS occurs in 52% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 62% of games (home games); they keep a clean sheet 43% of the time.
Oleksandria in-play tendencies (47 games, 21 at away): they score before half-time in 62% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 67% of the time; BTTS occurs in 43% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 52% of games (away games); they keep a clean sheet 43% of the time.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Shakhtar Donetsk 51% versus Oleksandria 43%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Shakhtar Donetsk 55% | Oleksandria 49%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Shakhtar Donetsk 1.79 xG and Oleksandria 0.85 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 1.584 / defence 0.894 | Oleksandria attack 0.972 / defence 0.998. League average goals — home 1.132 / away 0.980. Shakhtar Donetsk carry an above-average attack strength of 1.584 — their λ of 1.79 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. Data: 47 Shakhtar Donetsk games / 48 Oleksandria games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Shakhtar Donetsk 60% | Draw 23% | Oleksandria 18%. Fair-value odds: Shakhtar Donetsk 1.67 | Draw 4.35 | Oleksandria 5.56. The model has a clear lean to Shakhtar Donetsk (60%) — a 42pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 49% | BTTS probability 48% | Total xG 2.64. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 49%/51% — the total xG of 2.64 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 48% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Our Verdict
Poisson rates Shakhtar Donetsk as the most likely outcome at 60% — clear model lean. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 23% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.
On the goals line, Poisson's 2.64 combined xG gives a 49% probability to Under 2.5 — Poisson-only — limited corroboration — though form averaging only 3.0 goals per game and H2H averaging only 3.6 goals per meeting point in the other direction.
Poisson assigns a 48% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates are neutral: Shakhtar Donetsk 60% | Oleksandria 40%.

Historically the two sides average 52% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Shakhtar Donetsk 55%, Oleksandria 49%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 47%, which matched the one-sided outcome.
