H2H Record

The fixture history tells a clear story: Polessya have dominated this rivalry, winning 3 of 4 past contests while Karpaty have managed just 0 wins.

Goals have been a feature of this fixture. The last 4 meetings have averaged 3.2 per game — a rate that gives the Over 2.5 market a solid historical foundation. The most recent clash, on 13 Dec 2025, ended 3–2 with Polessya winning.

From a betting standpoint, the H2H backs both Polessya and goals. The home side's 3 wins from 4 meetings, combined with an average of 3.2 goals per game, gives the home win and Over 2.5 combination a historically grounded case.

Trading Patterns

Polessya in-play and half-time data (35 games, 17 at home): they score before half-time in 71% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 60% of the time; they lead at the break 54% of the time; BTTS occurs in 47% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 47% of games (home games); they keep a clean sheet 51% of the time.

Karpaty in-play and half-time data (35 games, 17 at away): they score before half-time in 76% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 67% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 35% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 41% of games (away games); they keep a clean sheet 46% of the time.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Polessya 37% versus Karpaty 40%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Polessya 46% | Karpaty 46%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Polessya 1.75 xG and Karpaty 1.35 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: Polessya attack 1.573 / defence 1.013 | Karpaty attack 1.234 / defence 0.932. League average goals — home 1.196 / away 1.082. Polessya carry an above-average attack strength of 1.573 — their λ of 1.75 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. Karpaty have an above-average attack strength of 1.234 — the away xG of 1.35 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Data: 35 Polessya games / 34 Karpaty games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Polessya 45% | Draw 26% | Karpaty 28%. Fair-value odds: Polessya 2.22 | Draw 3.85 | Karpaty 3.57. Polessya hold a narrow Poisson edge at 45% — the draw (26%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 60% | BTTS probability 63% | Total xG 3.11. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 60% — the 3.11 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 63% reflects that both xG figures (1.75 / 1.35) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Summary & Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Polessya at 45% — moderate model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 26% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Polessya offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 28% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

Poisson projects 3.11 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 60% probability — strong conviction, supported by form averaging 3.1 goals per game and H2H averaging 3.2 goals per meeting.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 63%. Form rates corroborate: Polessya 80% | Karpaty 40% BTTS from recent games.
