Dynamo Kyiv
- Ihor Kostiuk has made Dynamo a high-tempo, vertical side, who like to counter-press, zone and play a structured 4-2-3-1 since his appointment on 28 November 2025.
- Dynamo's last two results were a 3-0 defeat away to Bukovyna Chernivtsi and a 0-0 draw at home to LNZ Cherkasy.
- The Whites and Blues have made their home a tough place to go with one win and one draw in two matches in Premier League 2026/2027, but they've gone a little quiet of late, failing to get over the line in two of their last five matches (W2, D1, L2).
- Dynamo Kyiv are 6th with seven points from four games.
Epitsentr
- Sergiy Nagornyak has made Epitsentr Dunayivtsi an organised, pragmatic unit since his arrival on2 September 2022.
- Epitsentr are a compact, solid unit that prefer blocks, selective pressing and quick, vertical outbursts to spells of possession.
- Epitsentr are fifth in the table in Premier League 2026/2027 with eight points from five matches.
- Epitsentr and their away form of one win from one match and three goals scored is pretty strong, so we can see Epitsentr giving Dynamo problems on the break.
Head-to-Head
Dynamo beat Epitsentr 4-0 in the same fixture just six months ago.
Key Players
- Matviy Ponomarenko is Dynamo's top scorer in Premier League 2026/2027 with two goals from four appearances and he has scored two of his team's last three in the last five games, so we'll give him the nod to score at any time.
- Joaquinete has been a livewire for Epitsentr with two of their last six goals in the Premier League 2026/2027 in the last five rounds, so he is a solid contender to score at any time.
- Vadym Sydun is Epitsentr's top goalscorer with two in five league games and he is a reliable outlet up top.

- Dynamo are the favorites at 1.39, Epitsentr are 7.15 and the draw is 4.4 in the betting for Monday's Premier League 2026/2027 clash at Stadion NSK Olimpiyskiy, Kyiv, Ukraine.
- A smarter option is to head to Under 2.5 goals at 2.11, which seems a decent option for a game that will see two teams who like to play a close, tactical game.
Prediction
- We think the press will be met by a block on Monday and it could be a chess match rather than a stroll for the hosts.
- Dynamo should have the edge here as they beat Epitsentr 4-0 in the same fixture just six months ago, so we'll take the favourites to edge a low-scoring game.
