FC Obolon Kiev
- FC Obolon Kiev are 11th in the table with 28 points from 27 matches.
- Obolon have drawn 2-2 at home to Epitsentr Kamianets-Podilskyi, lost 3-1 away to Shakhtar Donetsk and then won 2-0 away to FC Kolos Kovalivka over their last three league games.
LNZ Cherkasy
- LNZ Cherkasy are 3rd in the Premier League 2025/2026 table on 54 points from 27 games.
- A 2-0 home win over SC Poltava was followed by a 1-0 defeat away to Kudrivka last time out for LNZ, whose recent form is mixed with one win, three draws and one loss from their last five outings.
- The Cherkasy side have won nine, drawn two and lost only two of their away Premier League games, which is a much better record than the hosts have managed in 2025/2026 with just two wins, eight draws and four defeats from 14 home matches.
Head-to-Head
The last five meetings between the sides have produced two wins apiece and one draw.
Key Players
- Taras Liakh has been in good form for Antonenko’s men with two goals in their last five matches, accounting for half of their recent goal tally.
- Denys Ustymenko remains their top scorer with six in 24 appearances and provides a focal point up top.
- LNZ’s top scorer is also their most dangerous player as Mark Assinor has eight league goals in 25 appearances.
- Vitaliy Ponomarov took over in June 2025 and has instilled a high-intensity pressing game and fast-paced transitions that have seen LNZ soar up the league.
Prediction
- LNZ average 1.62 goals per game when on the road in the Premier League 2025/2026 campaign and concede just 0.54 goals per away game.
- Our prediction is for an away win to nil at the odds on offer as the visitors are so good defensively, but this game could be a high-scoring one because of LNZ’s attacking style and Obolon’s counter-attacking approach.
