- Polissya are 2nd in the table on 55 points from 27 games.
- Ruslan Rotan has brought structure and a greater control to the hosts since he took over in June 2025.
- The hosts usually line up in a 4-3-3 formation, preferring to control the ball and the tempo of the game.
Rukh

Players to watch
- Igor Neves - the visitors’ top scorer has only scored three goals in 24 league appearances.
- Mykola Gayduchyk - Polissya’s talisman with nine goals in 27 league matches.
- Eduard Sarapiy - has scored two of their last six league goals.
Market view
The odds on a home win are extremely short , so the preview prefers both teams to score and over 2.5 goals .
Our call
- Although Polissya have failed to beat Rukh in recent meetings, home advantage and Rotan’s control should be enough to see them through to three points.
- There is still a good chance Rukh can score if their high-tempo pressing works and creates enough chances.
