Veres (away)
- The Red-Blacks are 10th with 5 points from 5 matches and need a win to move up the table.
- Veres are set up to be difficult to beat, and with just one win, two draws and two defeats in their last five, they are in mixed form.

Karpaty won 2-0 at home in the Premier League 2025/2026 and are undefeated in Veres' last 2 trips to Lviv.

Betting Insights

- The odds on offer are quite a head-scratcher in this fixture because it appears to be a match-up of control and counter, with FC Karpaty Lviv looking to dominate the ball and Veres Rivne looking to be compact and hit their opponents on the break.
Prediction
A Karpaty win with under 3.5 goals looks good to us, as Veres won't be attacking much and they only have a modest scoring record so far this season.
