View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
BTTS - No is the preferred pick, as Metalist 1925 has averaged only 0.4 goals over its last 5 matches and failed to score in 4 of them, reflected in just 20% of games seeing both teams score. Zorya are in good form, having scored 13 goals in their last five appearances, with an average xG of 1.62, giving the hosts a clear basis for finding the net. At the same time, Zorya conceded just 1.0 goal per match during this period and have kept a clean sheet in 50% of their matches throughout the season, while the visitors' attack averages only 3.0 shots on target per game. Metalist have a very weak defense, conceding an average of 3.0 goals in their last 5 matches, so the most likely scenario appears to be Zorya scoring while the visitors fail to find the net. Additionally, the league BTTS rate is only 41%, supporting a scenario in which at least one team fails to score.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
Zorya are in excellent attacking form: they have scored 13 goals in their last 5 matches, averaging 2.6 per game, while Metalist 1925 have conceded as many as 3.0 goals per match over the same period. The hosts are also creating significantly more chances, averaging 15.5 shots and 6.0 shots on target, while the visitors allow opponents a high number of opportunities. Zorya’s last five matches produced at least 3 goals in 80% of cases, while Metalist’s games averaged 3.4 goals, as the team scored 2 and conceded 15. Metalist have poor attacking efficiency, scoring just 0.4 goals per game in their last five appearances, but their xG stands at 1.41, meaning an away goal remains a realistic possibility. The strongest signal is Over 1.5 goals, as Zorya’s attacking superiority over their opponents’ defense should in itself bring the match significantly closer to at least two goals.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
