Home - Kudrivka
- Kudrivka have won 4, drawn 4 and lost 3 of their 11 home league matches, scoring 16 goals.
- The hosts are not in good shape in the Premier League 2025/2026 with just 21 points from 22 games and sitting 13th in the standings.
- Their form has been poor of late with 1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses in their last 5, the latter of which includes a current 2-match losing streak.
- Vasili Baranov has introduced a pragmatic, disciplined and compact approach to the Kudrivka side with the side capable of pressing the ball well when required.
Away - Kryvbas
- Kryvbas have won 3, drawn 4 and lost 4 of their 11 away league matches, netting 13 goals on the road.
- Kryvbas’ 4-3-3 system, which was installed by Dutch coach Patrick van Leeuwen, is based around possession and pressing.
- The visitors will try to control territory and force their hosts into errors by overloading the wings and pressing them with numbers in the center of the pitch.
- They bounced back to form with a 2-1 home win against Epitsentr Kamianets-Podilskyi after a 0-3 thumping away to LNZ Cherkasy, a result which was a deserved one by the end of the game.
Key Players
- Andriy Storchous
- Their most dangerous player, Andriy Storchous, has 7 goals in 19 league games this term, so they are not a goal-starved team, but they do not possess the same quality as some of their top-tier opponents.
- Carlos Paraco
- Carlos Paraco has been the reliable goal threat for Kryvbas all season with 6 goals in 21 league appearances, so we’re sticking with him to score anytime on Sunday.
Betting Insights
- The bookies are barely separating these sides with the away side’s price at 2.11 looking attractive enough to us to take given the two teams’ relative form and league positions.
- There is a clash of styles in this game with a reactive, pragmatic Kudrivka side facing off against a more proactive, possession-based Kryvbas team.
Prediction
The visitors’ wide players and higher line of pressing should stretch the compact Kudrivka block and we think the away team can nick this one by a goal.
