BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Dnipro-1 48% versus Metal Kharkiv 56%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Dnipro-1 70% | Metal Kharkiv 52%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Dnipro-1 2.35 xG and Metal Kharkiv 1.15 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: Dnipro-1 attack 1.452 / defence 1.056 | Metal Kharkiv attack 0.852 / defence 1.288. League average goals — home 1.257 / away 1.279. Dnipro-1 carry an above-average attack strength of 1.452 — their λ of 2.35 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. Metal Kharkiv bring a strong defensive rating of 1.288 — this is suppressing Dnipro-1's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 40 Dnipro-1 games / 23 Metal Kharkiv games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Dnipro-1 64% | Draw 19% | Metal Kharkiv 17%. Fair-value odds: Dnipro-1 1.56 | Draw 5.26 | Metal Kharkiv 5.88. The model has a clear lean to Dnipro-1 (64%) — a 47pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 68% | BTTS probability 62% | Total xG 3.50. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 68% — a total xG of 3.50 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS Yes at 62% reflects that both xG figures (2.35 / 1.15) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Dnipro-1 at 64% — clear model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 19% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

The Poisson model projects 3.50 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 68% — reasonable confidence, supported by form averaging 2.8 goals per game.

Poisson assigns a 62% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates are neutral: Dnipro-1 50% | Metal Kharkiv 50%.
