Kryvbas

- His team have responded well to van Leeuwen’s coaching, winning three of their last five matches and remaining unbeaten in the last two.

Veres Rivne
- Veres Rivne have won one, drawn two and lost two of their last five Premier League 2025/2026 matches.

- Veres are an aggressive side who play a 4-2-3-1 formation and like to get the ball wide and get forward as quickly as they can in order to catch opponents off guard.
