Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Kolos Kovalivka 0.90 xG and Livyi Bereh 0.65 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 0.799 / defence 0.847 | Livyi Bereh attack 0.704 / defence 0.939. League average goals — home 1.196 / away 1.082. Kolos Kovalivka's attack strength of 0.799 is below the league average — the 0.90 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Data: 33 Kolos Kovalivka games / 4 Livyi Bereh games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Kolos Kovalivka 38% | Draw 39% | Livyi Bereh 23%. Fair-value odds: Kolos Kovalivka 2.63 | Draw 2.56 | Livyi Bereh 4.35. The draw (39%) 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 20% | BTTS probability 30% | Total xG 1.54. Under 2.5 is the strongly backed market at 80% probability — total xG of 1.54 sits well below the 2.5 threshold. The model is projecting a tight, low-scoring match based on both sides' defensive quality. BTTS No has firm model support at 70% — Livyi Bereh's lower xG of 0.65 creates a meaningful probability of a scoring blank, which suppresses the BTTS Yes probability to 30%.

Analysis Verdict

The Poisson model's preferred outcome is the draw at 39% — 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 23% are close enough that backing either outright carries significant draw exposure.

The Poisson model projects 1.54 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 20% — reasonable confidence, supported by form averaging 1.3 goals per game.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 30% on No. Form rates corroborate: Kolos Kovalivka 20% | Livyi Bereh 67% BTTS from recent games.
