Epitsentr Dunayivtsi (home)
- Epitsentr Kamianets-Podilskyi have not won in 8 home games, D1, L7, in the Premier League.
- On the other hand, Epitsentr Dunayivtsi set up with a compact, conservative low block and aim to be tough to score against while allowing their more talented players to make quick, vertical runs in behind their opponents.
- Nagornyak has certainly improved the overall defensive discipline of the team since his appointment, and Kolos may find it hard to break them down at times, but this clash also offers an opportunity for the away team to play on the counter as Epitsentr will need to take a few risks to try and cause problems.
- The hosts average 1.12 goals per-game at home in the Premier League and concede a massive 2.38 in return, which has seen them sit 14th in the table with just 14 points from as many games.

- Ruslan Kostyshyn has made the visitors a tough side to beat since taking charge, introducing a high-press, high-tempo brand of soccer that allows the team to adapt tactically depending on the opponent.

- Kolos are seventh with 28 points from the same number of games.
