Trading

Karpaty half-time and goal-timing data (27 games, 13 at home): they score before half-time in 69% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 56% of the time; BTTS occurs in 31% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 54% of games (home games); they keep a clean sheet 48% of the time.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Karpaty 41% versus Oleksandria 41%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Karpaty 52% | Oleksandria 44%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Karpaty 1.36 xG and Oleksandria 0.96 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: Karpaty attack 1.304 / defence 0.835 | Oleksandria attack 1.134 / defence 0.908. League average goals — home 1.153 / away 1.019. Karpaty carry an above-average attack strength of 1.304 — their λ of 1.36 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. Data: 27 Karpaty games / 57 Oleksandria games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Karpaty 45% | Draw 29% | Oleksandria 26%. Fair-value odds: Karpaty 2.22 | Draw 3.45 | Oleksandria 3.85. Karpaty hold a narrow Poisson edge at 45% — the draw (29%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 41% | BTTS probability 47% | Total xG 2.33. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 59% — total xG of 2.33 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 47% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Karpaty at 45% — moderate model lean. Note a divergence: in-form Oleksandria (2.50 PPG) cuts against the Poisson lean — consider the strength-adjusted model over surface-level form results. Draw probability of 29% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Karpaty if the outright odds are short.

The Poisson model projects 2.33 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 41% — reasonable confidence, supported by form averaging 2.2 goals per game.

Poisson assigns a 47% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Karpaty 20% | Oleksandria 40% BTTS from recent games.
