Match description
Shakhtar are favourites for this match: at home they rank 1st and average 2.75 goals per game with xG 2.25, 65% possession and 17.33 shots with 6.92 SOT per match. Their defense also looks solid — the hosts concede only 0.67 goals per home game on average, have xG against 0.77 and maintain 67% clean sheets. Polessya are a tough away opponent: they sit 3rd in the table, win 82% of away matches, score 2.36 goals per away game with xG 1.57, and in the last 5 matches have 3 wins and 1 draw, averaging 2 points per game. The quality gap in chance creation favors Shakhtar — xG 2.25 vs 1.57 and 6.92 SOT vs 4.64 SOT — however Polessya are more efficient in conversion (18% vs 16%) and can make the most of their opportunities. Considering the home side’s advantage in chance creation and their solid defence, I predict a Shakhtar win, although the opponent has a strong enough attack and form to fight for a draw.
