Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Epitsentr Dunayivtsi 0.93 xG and Livyi Bereh 0.61 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: Epitsentr Dunayivtsi attack 0.831 / defence 0.818 | Livyi Bereh attack 0.705 / defence 0.936. League average goals — home 1.192 / away 1.056. Data: 35 Epitsentr Dunayivtsi games / 4 Livyi Bereh games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Epitsentr Dunayivtsi 39% | Draw 41% | Livyi Bereh 20%. Fair-value odds: Epitsentr Dunayivtsi 2.56 | Draw 2.44 | Livyi Bereh 5.00. The draw (41%) 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 0.61 creates a meaningful probability of a scoring blank, which suppresses the BTTS Yes probability to 30%.

Final Verdict

The Poisson model's preferred outcome is the draw at 41% — neither side is more likely to win than to draw. Draw-inclusive markets are the most model-aligned approach. Home win at 39% and away win at 20% 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 1.4 goals per game.

Poisson assigns a 30% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Epitsentr Dunayivtsi 20% | Livyi Bereh 67% BTTS from recent games.
