Shakhtar Donetsk vs Dynamo Kyiv Prediction, Odds & Statistics
Our Poisson-based model projects 1.58 expected goals for Shakhtar Donetsk and 0.91 for Dynamo Kyiv, a combined total of 2.49.

Goals markets follow the same shape: 45% for over 2.5 goals and 48% for both teams to score, with 1–0 the single most likely scoreline at 13%.

Head-to-head
Head-to-head history is temporarily unavailable. The prediction is unaffected — it is built from current form, home and away performance, goals data and competition statistics.
Prediction conclusion
The model's leading selection is Shakhtar Donetsk win, at 52.9%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–0.
It puts both teams scoring at 48% and over 2.5 goals at 45%.
A 53% selection is expected to miss in the remaining share of matches, and football regularly produces red cards, injuries and tactical changes the data cannot see. Treat this as a probability, not a forecast of the result.
