Pre-Match Analysis
LNZ Cherkasy and Vorskla Poltava meet at Cherkasy Arena in Premier League, Regular Season - 29. This fixture gets under way on Sunday 18 May 2025 at 13:30 UTC.

They are averaging 0.50 goals per game and conceding 1.00 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 4 clean sheets in 10 games (40%) reflects a solid defensive base.

Vorskla Poltava have collected 0.90 PPG across 10 Premier League outings this season: 2W 3D 5L. Last five: L L W D L. Their scoring rate of 0.80 per game is modest, conceding 1.10 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 4 clean sheets in 10 outings (40%) underlines their defensive solidity.
Vorskla Poltava's form when playing away from home: 2W 3D 5L across 10 road games this term (0.90 PPG). Away from home they average 0.70 goals scored and 1.20 conceded per game.
Both sides are running at similar form levels — 0.70 PPG for LNZ Cherkasy against 0.90 for Vorskla Poltava. There is no clear form edge to exploit here; other signals need to take the lead.
H2H Analysis
Neither side has dominated this fixture. The last 3 head-to-head meetings have produced 1 wins for LNZ Cherkasy, 1 for Vorskla Poltava and 1 draws — an even split that leaves the H2H largely neutral as a betting input.
Scoring has been limited when these teams have met. The 3 previous contests averaged 1.0 goals, making the Under 2.5 the historically backed angle in the goals market. The most recent clash, on 23 Nov 2024, ended 0–2 with Vorskla Poltava winning.
With a balanced win record and just 1.0 goals per game historically, the H2H points toward a tight, low-scoring contest. Under 2.5 goals has the strongest statistical grounding from the fixture history regardless of which side wins.
Trading & In-Play
LNZ Cherkasy — key trading statistics (58 games, 28 at home): they score before half-time in 61% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 67% of the time; BTTS occurs in 50% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 46% of games (home games); they fail to score in 38% of games.
Vorskla Poltava — key trading statistics (58 games, 28 at away): they score before half-time in 57% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 68% of the time; BTTS occurs in 43% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 36% of games (away games); they fail to score in 40% of games.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — LNZ Cherkasy 47% versus Vorskla Poltava 45%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (LNZ Cherkasy 40% | Vorskla Poltava 45%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects LNZ Cherkasy 0.93 xG and Vorskla Poltava 0.94 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: LNZ Cherkasy attack 0.894 / defence 1.096 | Vorskla Poltava attack 0.845 / defence 0.891. League average goals — home 1.163 / away 1.012. Data: 58 LNZ Cherkasy games / 58 Vorskla Poltava games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: LNZ Cherkasy 34% | Draw 32% | Vorskla Poltava 34%. Fair-value odds: LNZ Cherkasy 2.94 | Draw 3.12 | Vorskla Poltava 2.94. The draw (32%) 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 29% | BTTS probability 37% | Total xG 1.86. Under 2.5 is the strongly backed market at 71% probability — total xG of 1.86 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 37% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Picks & Verdict
The Poisson model's preferred outcome is the draw at 32% — neither side is more likely to win than to draw. Draw-inclusive markets are the most model-aligned approach. Home win at 34% and away win at 34% are close enough that backing either outright carries significant draw exposure.
On the goals line, Poisson's 1.86 combined xG gives a 29% probability to Under 2.5 — strong, supported by form averaging 2.0 goals per game and H2H averaging 1.0 goals per meeting.
The Poisson model's BTTS call is No at 37%. Form rates corroborate: LNZ Cherkasy 50% | Vorskla Poltava 40% BTTS from recent games.
The outsider holds a 34% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should not be treated as one. Proportionate stakes are appropriate given the genuine contest the data projects.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
The points were shared at Cherkasy Arena, Regular Season - 29, as LNZ Cherkasy and Vorskla Poltava drew 0-0 in the Premier League. The remainder of the report sets that outcome against the pre-match model, the markets and the teams' data profiles.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting LNZ Cherkasy 0.93 xG and Vorskla Poltava 0.94 xG, a combined 1.86. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. LNZ Cherkasy fell 0.9 short of their projected output. Vorskla Poltava landed 0.9 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of LNZ Cherkasy attack 0.89 / defence 1.10 against Vorskla Poltava attack 0.84 / defence 0.89, drawn from 58/58 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it LNZ Cherkasy 34% | Draw 32% | Vorskla Poltava 34%, with LNZ Cherkasy to win its most likely call at 34%. The actual draw had been the model's second-ranked read at 32%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 29%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 56% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 37% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 42% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (LNZ Cherkasy 40%, Vorskla Poltava 45%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 46%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Vorskla Poltava's trading profile (58 games, 28 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 45% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 40% of games, a blank that repeated today.
Form vs Result
The form lines were close — LNZ Cherkasy 1.21 PPG, Vorskla Poltava 1.00 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the draw fit that even billing. LNZ Cherkasy (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.07 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.25 average — tighter than their form line. Vorskla Poltava (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 0.86 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.18 average — tighter than their form line.
