Crystal Palace appear favored with multiple metrics: their overall form is 56% compared to Shakhtar's 44%, and their last-5 form is 67% versus 53% for the home side. Season stats further support Palace with 7 clean sheets compared to Shakhtar’s 4. The attacking efficiency of Palace is underlined by a consistent performance despite a slightly lower attack percentage (47% vs 53%). In addition, the Poisson distribution favors the away side at 60% over 40% for Shakhtar. Although head-to-head data is absent, the convergence of league form and season data tilts the balance. The risk remains moderate given the mixed defensive stats and missing h2h figures.
