After normalising bookmaker odds and adjusting for recent form and the head-to-head result, the outcome probabilities are:
The strong favourite tag comes from LNZ Cherkasy playing at home, holding a higher division status, winning the only previous meeting, and Metalist Kharkivโs poor scoring form. An away upset is highly unlikely based on the stats.
