LNZ Cherkasy (Away)

- Unbeaten last 5: W4, D1
- Away record: W9, D1, L1
Head-to-Head
LNZ Cherkasy won two and drew one of the last 3 head-to-head meetings.
Key Players
- His attacking system allows his players to move fluidly across the pitch and recover the ball in the upper third where the team is constantly pressing, with Mark Assinor leading the attack with eight goals in 21 appearances so far.
- The downside of this is that they concede possession a lot and it’s difficult to break down the visiting teams who will sit back, but they do have a focal point in Yury Klimchuk, who has hit seven Premier League goals this term.
Betting Insights
Assinor and his teammates are rightful favorites for this match, and their odds to win here are still reasonable at _2.26_.
Prediction
- Kolos have failed to beat Cherkasy in the last two home meetings and we expect their defensive mindset to be tested by LNZ’s pressing and fluid movement.
- Backing the visitors to take the win looks the way to go.
