FC Zorya Luhansk
- FC Zorya Luhansk have won one, drawn three, and lost one of their last five games, but have won four of their 10 home Premier League games (D4, L2).
- Zorya have kept a strong home form throughout the season, scoring 14 goals in 10 league games at home (1.40 per game) and conceding only 10 times (1.00 per game).
FC Epitsentr Dunayivtsi
FC Epitsentr Dunayivtsi have won three and lost two of their last five matches, losing their previous two on the road.
Key Players
- Viktor Skripnik took over Zorya in June 2025 and quickly made his mark on the club’s tactics, implementing a high-tempo style of play based on aggressive pressing, wide overloads and fast transitions.
- Nemanja Andjusic has found himself in particularly good scoring form recently, netting five of Zorya’s last 11 goals.
- Pylyp Budkivsky is still the chief goal threat, however, with nine Premier League strikes in 19 games to date, and he is the player to watch in the box.
- Sergiy Nagornyak, meanwhile, took charge of Epitsentr in September 2022 and has built a team on a compact, deep block with the sole aim of frustrating opponents and picking up results, either by stifling the game or hitting teams on the break or from set pieces.
Betting Insights
- Joaquinete is the visitors’ main goal threat, with six strikes in 22 Premier League appearances in 2025-26, but they will find it hard to break down Zorya’s midfield, which will be pressed onto them for long periods of this match.
- A Zorya home win at the odds of 2.04 looks like great value because the hosts have been strong in their own backyard all season and have the attacking firepower to break through Epitsentr’s compact lines.
Prediction
- Back Zorya to have too much for Epitsentr.
- This game is a real test of their character as a team, and with Skripnik’s intensity in their DNA, they should have the willpower to see out a home victory against a newly promoted side fighting to avoid the drop.
