• Kudrivka, managed by Vasili Baranov since December 2024, have implemented a possession-based system (4-2-3-1) that allows his side to press the ball high up the pitch and structure play through their number 10, who sets up Andriy Storchous as a focal point in the forward line.
• Storchous is the talisman for Kudrivka, who currently sit 12th with 20 points from 19 games, as he has seven Premier League goals this season, including two in his last five appearances.

Veres Rivne

Betting Insights

• Veres are the favorites at 2.31, with Kudrivka second best at 2.93 and the draw at 3.25, but the recent form and away record of the visitors will have to be taken into account in this clash.
