Veres Rivne
- Veres Rivne are tenth in the Ukrainian Premier League 2025-2026 on 29 points after 25 games.
- Oleh Shandruk’s side are coming off a mixed run of two wins, one draw and two defeats from their last five, but both defeats were suffered in away games to Metalist 1925 (4-0) and Zorya (2-0).
- Shandruk, who took charge of Veres in December 2023, has built his squad to be pragmatic and flexible, able to adapt between back four and five-man defence, depending on which players are available or the game state.
FC Epitsentr Dunayivtsi
- FC Epitsentr Dunayivtsi are twelfth, with 25 points from the same number of matches.
- Epitsentr’s high-energy, pressing system has taken them to mid-table since promotion, but Sergiy Nagornyak’s side have a slightly worse recent record than Veres, with one win, two draws and two losses in their previous five.
Head-to-Head
While Veres have one win and one draw against Epitsentr in their two previous Premier League head-to-heads, the home side has never lost this fixture, and they can claim another victory here.
Key Players
- Igor Kharatin has scored two of Veres’ last six goals in their past five games, and Denys Ndukve, with four goals in 19 Premier League appearances, offers a spark.
- Joaquinete leads the team’s scoring charts with six goals in 25 league games, and Carlos Rojas has scored two of Epitsentr’s last three goals in their recent five games.
Betting Insights
The odds of 2.28 on a home win look attractive, while there’s a fair chance of a low-scoring game, with Under 2.5 goals priced at 1.78 also coming in.
