Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Kolos Kovalivka 1.04 xG and Veres Rivne 0.79 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: Kolos Kovalivka attack 0.899 / defence 0.942 | Veres Rivne attack 0.732 / defence 0.848. League average goals — home 1.361 / away 1.143.

Result probabilities: Kolos Kovalivka 38% | Draw 38% | Veres Rivne 24%. Fair-value odds: Kolos Kovalivka 2.63 | Draw 2.63 | Veres Rivne 4.17. The draw (38%) is the Poisson-preferred outcome — neither side is more likely to win than to draw, making draw-inclusive markets the most model-aligned approach.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 28% | BTTS probability 38% | Total xG 1.83. Under 2.5 is the strongly backed market at 72% probability — total xG of 1.83 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 38% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Final Verdict

The Poisson model's preferred outcome is the draw at 38% — neither side is more likely to win than to draw. Draw-inclusive markets are the most model-aligned approach. Home win at 38% and away win at 24% are close enough that backing either outright carries significant draw exposure.

Poisson projects 1.83 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 28% probability — strong conviction, supported by form averaging 1.6 goals per game and H2H averaging 1.5 goals per meeting.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 38% on No. Form rates corroborate: Kolos Kovalivka 20% | Veres Rivne 10% BTTS from recent games.
