Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Kryvbas KR 1.20 xG and Kolos Kovalivka 1.10 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: Kryvbas KR attack 1.125 / defence 0.947 | Kolos Kovalivka attack 1.016 / defence 0.968. League average goals — home 1.104 / away 1.142.

Draw probability of 29% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Kryvbas KR if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 33% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

The Poisson model projects 2.30 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 40% — reasonable confidence, supported by H2H averaging 1.7 goals per meeting.

Poisson assigns a 47% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Kryvbas KR 50% | Kolos Kovalivka 40% BTTS from recent games.

The outsider holds a 33% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should not be treated as one. Proportionate stakes are appropriate given the genuine contest the data projects.
