Betting Insights
- The home team's games are generally tight, with under 2.5 goals and one or no team scoring being the best bets.
- The value in this game lies in the unders, and whilst Kharkiv have the advantage on the form guide, we simply cannot back the away side at 1.46 with Chornomorets at 7.2 and the draw at 4.43.
- Under 2.5 goals at 1.82 and Both Teams to Score - No at 1.64 are the bets to make on Saturday afternoon.
Prediction
- These are two very different styles of team and this should be a chess match of sorts.
- Chornomorets like to play with a steady tempo, while Kharkiv are far more adventurous, at least on the flanks, and they like to close down the opposition immediately after the ball is won.
- Given the tightness of the home side's games and Kharkiv's recent form, the most sensible approach is to prioritise the unders and Both Teams to Score - No rather than backing the short-priced away win.
