Away - FC Zorya Luhansk
FC Zorya Luhansk are 8th in the UPL on 23 points from 16 matches , having scored 19 and conceded 18 .
Head-to-Head
- The head-to-head record between the clubs is tied with Zorya winning once and Kudrivka once - with the aggregate score being 2-2 after two competitive matches.
- The two sides met in the UPL for the first time in August 2025 and Zorya claimed the points in a 2-1 comeback victory thanks to goals from Roman Salenko and Anderson.
Kudrivka
- Artem Lyeghostaiev and Vladyslav Shapoval are key components in transition, with Lyeghostaiev providing an outlet in attack and Shapoval anchoring the defence, particularly at set pieces.
- Andriy Storchous is their main man and talisman as he sits atop their scoring charts with six league goals and is as much a creator as a finisher, especially from dead-ball situations.
Zorya Luhansk
- Viktor Skrypnyk is one of the most experienced coaches in Ukrainian football and since returning to the club in 2025, he has made Zorya a fast-paced 4-3-3 or narrow diamond with an emphasis on vertical play, aggressive pressing and advanced full-backs providing overloads in the wide areas.
- Pylyp Budkivskyi is the main goal threat for Zorya, having signed a contract extension recently to underline his importance to the team, with seven league goals this term.
- Juninho and Anderson provide a creative spark and regularly overlap with Budkivskyi to supply service to him and also provide width, while Oleksandr Saputin is a steady hand in goal, although 18 goals conceded isn’t the best.
Betting Insights
Zorya are favorites at 2.12 , although it looks closer than that in reality with Kudrivka available at 3.44 and the draw 3.29 .
Prediction
- We’ll back the visitors to come out on top as their more positive approach should suit the cold and potentially snowy conditions in Kyiv, but Kudrivka have enough in set pieces and a good underdog mindset to keep this close.
- The Both Teams To Score market is priced at 1.75 and will be the main bet.
