The Ukrainian Premier League returns after the winter break, with FC LNZ Cherkasy and FC Krivbas being the first to take to the pitch after the hiatus. Our analysts have crafted a prediction for this match between these adversaries.
FC LNЗ Cherkasy
For the debutant in the UPL, adapting to a new division is a formidable challenge, yet there are promising prospects to establish a foothold here. Initially positioned among the underdogs of the championship, FC LNЗ Cherkasy ended the pre-break period with a streak of five matches without victory, accruing 11 points in the process. This surge propelled them to the tenth spot in the league table, maintaining a six-point buffer from the relegation zone. Assessing the team's form proves challenging; in friendly matches, they secured four victories, suffered an equal number of defeats, and settled for one draw.
FC Krivbas
Heading into the winter break, FC Krivbas held the top spot, albeit marginally, as FC Dnipro-1 narrowly edged ahead based on supplementary metrics. Shakhtar Donetsk trails by three points but holds two games in hand, while Dynamo Kyiv lags by six points, having played three fewer matches. The pursuit of the championship will be arduous, given the potential of the club and its competitors, although few anticipated this from FC Krivbas.
