Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 47%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — the opposite of the projected direction. Over 1.5 had been 72% and landed.

Historically the two sides average 51% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Shakhtar Donetsk 53%, Veres Rivne 49%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 53%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Shakhtar Donetsk (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 0.80 average — tighter than their form line. Veres Rivne (home/away splits) shipped 3 against a 1.28 concession average — a leakier day than usual.
