Upcoming Games
Predictions Methodology
Beginning in 2014, the Predictor was used to predict future Ukraine Premier League games. The Predictor uses scores from past contests, but does not account for injuries, or other factors that may randomly cause the outcome of the game to move in one direction or another.
The Ukrainian Premier League starts the season in July, and after a two month break during the winter ends their season in May. There are currently twelve teams in the top division with each team playing every other in a home-and-away format. The teams that are in the top six of the table at the end of this round then make the Championship Group with the bottom six teams making the Relegation Group. Once the groups are established, there is then a round-robin within the groups to determine final positions. In the Relegation Group, the fifth and sixth place teams are relegated to the second division. In the Championship Group, the top four teams make varying rounds of the Champions League and Europa League.
