LNZ Cherkasy
- LNZ Cherkasy are second in the Premier League 2025/2026 table with 29 points from 14 games.
- The Zebras are very solid at home with four wins, a draw and two defeats from their seven games, although their lack of potency in attack - averaging just 0.57 goals per home game (4 goals total) has meant they are unable to put teams away. For fans looking for advice, this is one of the main factors to consider in our LNZ Cherkasy vs FC Obolon Kiev betting tips.
- Vitaliy Ponomarov’s side play a very pragmatic style of football and have been structured to sit back in a 4-4-2 system that morphs into a 5-3-2 when under pressure.
FC Obolon Kiev
- FC Obolon Kiev are 11th in the table with 17 points from 14 fixtures.
- Obolon Kiev are unlikely to offer much more of an attacking threat to LNZ and probably prefer to sit in with their own 4-4-2 system or 4-2-3-1 - whichever is the preference of their coach Aleksandr Antonenko.
- They have won three of their seven away games this season (Won 3, drawn 2, lost 2) while conceding an average of only 0.86 goals. The away form will be a key aspect for those looking for LNZ Cherkasy vs FC Obolon Kiev betting tips.
