Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Obolon'-Brovar 0.71 xG and Shakhtar Donetsk 1.52 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: Obolon'-Brovar attack 0.755 / defence 1.001 | Shakhtar Donetsk attack 1.330 / defence 0.868. League average goals — home 1.082 / away 1.143. Obolon'-Brovar's attack strength of 0.755 is below the league average — the 0.71 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Shakhtar Donetsk have an above-average attack strength of 1.330 — the away xG of 1.52 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Data: 20 Obolon'-Brovar games / 49 Shakhtar Donetsk games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Obolon'-Brovar 17% | Draw 26% | Shakhtar Donetsk 57%. Fair-value odds: Obolon'-Brovar 5.88 | Draw 3.85 | Shakhtar Donetsk 1.75. The model has a clear lean to Shakhtar Donetsk (57%) — a 40pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 39% | BTTS probability 40% | Total xG 2.23. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 61% — total xG of 2.23 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 40% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Picks & Verdict

On the Poisson output, Shakhtar Donetsk are the pick at 57% — clear model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 26% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.23 combined xG gives a 39% probability to Under 2.5 — Poisson-only — limited corroboration.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is No at 40%. Form rates corroborate: Obolon'-Brovar 30% | Shakhtar Donetsk 60% BTTS from recent games.
