Away - Obolon

Head-to-Head
The last five head-to-head contests have gone Polissya's way, with three wins, one draw and a win apiece, although they will not be allowed to run wild by Obolon, who are still seeking their first away win in the Premier League 2026/2027 after four draws and three losses in seven games.
