✍️ Match Preview
Match Analysis
Oleksandria host Shakhtar Donetsk at CSC Nika in Premier League (matchday 18). Kick-off is Monday 26 February 2024 at 11:00 UK time.
Form Guide
Oleksandria — last 10 games: 2W 3D 5L, averaging 0.90 points per game. Last five: D L W L W. They are averaging 0.90 goals per game and conceding 1.40 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 4 clean sheets in 10 games (40%) reflects a solid defensive base.
Oleksandria's form when playing at home: 3W 2D 5L across their last 10 home games (1.10 PPG). At home they are averaging 0.70 goals scored and 1.80 conceded per game.
Looking at their last 10 matches, Shakhtar Donetsk stand at 6W 2D 2L — 2.00 PPG. Last five: W L D W W. They are scoring at 1.60 per game and conceding 0.70. Defensively, 0.70 goals conceded per game is elite-level — a side this difficult to score against is a real threat to Over 2.5 and BTTS Yes. 6 clean sheets from 10 games (60%) is an exceptional defensive record — they are keeping clean sheets more often than not.
Shakhtar Donetsk's form when playing away from home: 6W 3D 1L across their last 10 road games (2.10 PPG). They are averaging 2.00 goals per away game — strong road scoring that makes them a threat even without home support. 4 clean sheets from their last 10 away games (40%) shows they are capable of shutting up shop on the road. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context.
Despite the home advantage, the form figures favour Shakhtar Donetsk — 1.10 PPG ahead of the hosts (2.00 vs 0.90). That gap is large enough to take seriously. Draw No Bet on the visitors neutralises home-ground risk while maintaining the form-backed selection.
H2H
There is little to separate the sides in our head-to-head data. From 5 H2H matches, Oleksandria have won 1, Shakhtar Donetsk 2, with 2 draws — a balanced record that offers no clear steer on its own.
The 5 H2H matches in our data have been high-scoring — 3.0 goals per game on average — which backs the Over 2.5 market from the head-to-head side. The most recent of those, on 14 Aug 2023, ended Oleksandria 1–2 Shakhtar Donetsk — a Shakhtar Donetsk win.
With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H signal is in the goals market — at 3.0 goals per game, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle from the head-to-head data.
Trading Patterns
Oleksandria in-play and half-time data (last 45 games, 22 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 77% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 50% of the time; of the 12 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 25%; of the 12 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 25%; BTTS occurs in 54% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 46% of games (home games).
Shakhtar Donetsk in-play and half-time data (last 45 games, 22 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 77% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 82% of the time; they lead at the break 53% of the time; of the 5 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 60%; BTTS occurs in 64% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 59% of games (away games); they keep a clean sheet 49% of the time.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Oleksandria 51% versus Shakhtar Donetsk 51%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Oleksandria 44% | Shakhtar Donetsk 58%). There is an in-play dynamic worth noting: Oleksandria surrender their half-time lead 25% of the time, while Shakhtar Donetsk have come from behind at the break to draw or win in 60% of cases — a combination that makes laying the hosts at HT a potential angle.
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Oleksandria 0.95 xG and Shakhtar Donetsk 1.59 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: Oleksandria attack 0.920 / defence 1.062 | Shakhtar Donetsk attack 1.152 / defence 0.930. League average goals — home 1.111 / away 1.297. Data: built from Oleksandria's last 46 games and Shakhtar Donetsk's last 45.
Result probabilities: Oleksandria 20% | Draw 31% | Shakhtar Donetsk 50%. Fair-value odds: Oleksandria 5.04 | Draw 3.26 | Shakhtar Donetsk 2.02. Shakhtar Donetsk hold a narrow Poisson edge at 50% — the draw (31%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 47% | BTTS Yes probability 52% | Total xG 2.54. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 47%/53% — the total xG of 2.54 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 52% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Our Verdict
Poisson rates Shakhtar Donetsk as the most likely outcome at 50% — moderate model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 31% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Shakhtar Donetsk offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.
On the goals line, Poisson's 2.54 combined xG gives a 53% probability to Under 2.5 — low conviction — though the H2H data averaging 3.0 goals per game across 5 H2H matches points the other way.
Poisson assigns a 52% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: Oleksandria 40% (last 10 home games) | Shakhtar Donetsk 60% (last 10 away games).

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Shakhtar Donetsk beat Oleksandria 0-3 at CSC Nika, Regular Season - 18, in the Premier League. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Oleksandria 0.95 xG and Shakhtar Donetsk 1.59 xG, a combined 2.54. The scoreboard read 0-3 for 3 actual goals. Oleksandria fell 0.9 short of their projected output. Shakhtar Donetsk outscored their 1.59 projection by 1.4. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Oleksandria attack 0.92 / defence 1.06 against Shakhtar Donetsk attack 1.15 / defence 0.93, drawn from 46/45 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Oleksandria 20% | Draw 31% | Shakhtar Donetsk 50%, with Shakhtar Donetsk to win its most likely call at 50%. That is exactly how it finished — the model's leading outcome was vindicated.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 47%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — the opposite of the projected direction. Over 1.5 had been 75% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 52% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 51% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Oleksandria 44%, Shakhtar Donetsk 58%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 51%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Oleksandria's trading profile (45 games, 22 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 51% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 38% of the time, and conceded here; they fail to score in 29% of games, a blank that repeated today.
Shakhtar Donetsk's trading profile (45 games, 22 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 51% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 49% of the time, and duly kept one.
Form vs Result
On form, Shakhtar Donetsk arrived the stronger side — 2.29 PPG against 1.27. That form edge translated into the three points. Oleksandria (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.41 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 3 against a 1.45 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Shakhtar Donetsk (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 0.86 average — tighter than their form line.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss), form (hit). The model got the gist right while missing on the margins.
