Match description

Hirnyk is the favorite in this match due to a clear advantage in the table and goal output: the visitors sit sixth with 11 wins and 43 goals scored, while SK Poltava are 16th with only 2 wins and 20 goals. Recent form over the last five matches also favors Hirnyk — the visitors scored 12 goals and average 1.8 points per game, winning 3 of 5, whereas SK scored 4 goals, failed to win any and average 0.4 points per game. In attack and quality of chances Hirnyk averages 10.83 shots and 3.08 on target away, with a conversion rate of 12% and xG 1.21, while SK at home records 8 shots, 2.5 on target, 9% conversion and xG 0.9. Defensively the hosts perform worse — SK concedes 2.5 goals per home game on average (63 conceded this season) and has only 8% clean sheets, whereas Hirnyk concedes 1.58 away and maintains 25% clean sheets. Considering the goal difference (43–20), PPG in the last 5 matches (1.8–0.4) and the hosts’ weaker defense, I assign a 65% chance to Hirnyk to win, 20% to a draw and 15% to an SK upset.
