Bukovyna
- Bukovyna have W1 D2 L2 in their last five, losing rhythm at the wrong time.
- Bukovyna have conceded six goals in seven Premier League 2026/2027 matches and sit 11th with seven points from seven games.
Polissya
- Polissya are flying with four wins in their last five, including the most recent four.
- Polissya sit in first with 18 points from the same seven games and have been in superior form of late.
Head-to-Head
- Polissya beat Bukovyna 2-1 in their Persha Liga, Group A 2022 head-to-head.
- These prices make sense as the two teams are relatively evenly matched, but Polissya have been in superior form of late.
Key Players
- Bukovyna's Danylo Kravchuk has one goal in five Premier League 2026/2027 games and remains their most potent finisher.
- Polissya's Igor Krasnopir has five in seven and has scored three of their last eight, so he's the danger man.
- Ruslan Rotan's side tend to play in a more possession-based system and often play through the flanks to create overloads or one-v-one battles.
Betting Insights
- Polissya are clear favorites in the bookmaker odds for Sunday's game at Tonkocheyev Stadium, Ukraine.
- Polissya Zhytomyr come in at 1.6 favorites, with Bukovyna Chernivtsi at 5.3 and the draw at 4.2.
- The market is extremely tight in the goal markets, where under 2.5 goals is priced at 1.9 and Both Teams to Score is almost level at 1.91 for Yes and 1.81 for No.
- Both teams have been relatively solid in the defensive areas, but we think that Polissya will be the one to break down the other's defense to take the win.
Prediction
- Bukovyna's last two results, a 1-1 draw and a 2-0 defeat, have shown that they're a little out of rhythm at the moment, while Polissya enter this game on the back of consecutive 1-0 wins over Liviy Bereh and Kryvbas, which means they know how to close games out.
- We're going for a Polissya win in a controlled, but fairly tight game, which matches the odds and the Under 2.5 goals preference.
- Polissya's recent run and Igor Krasnopir's scoring form should be decisive against a Bukovyna side that has struggled for consistency.
