Metalist’s defence concedes an average of 3 goals per away game and has kept no clean sheets, while Zorya have kept a clean sheet in 50% of their home matches. The clear advantage in chance quality, current finishing form and the visitors’ very poor run point to a Zorya victory.
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’ defence should in itself bring the match significantly closer to at least two goals.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
Zorya are showing clearly superior current form: they have won 4 of their last 5 matches, scoring an average of 2.6 goals and conceding just 1.0, while Metalist have lost 4 of their last 5 games, averaging 0.4 goals scored and 3.0 conceded.

Metalist have failed to score before half-time in each of their last 5 matches and were trailing at the break in as many as 75% of those games, which supports a Zorya lead at the break. The second half is also crucial: Zorya have scored an average of 2.2 goals in the second half across their last 5 appearances, while Metalist have conceded as many as 2.5, making a Zorya lead at half-time followed by a home win at the final whistle the most likely scenario.
