Match Preview
Metalist 1925 Kharkiv hosts Obolon'-Brovar in a Premier League clash on Monday, 4 August, at Stadion Livyy Bereh in Kyiv. Both teams come into this match with solid form, with Metalist winning three of their last five matches, while Obolon'-Brovar has also shown resilience, securing two wins and a draw in their last five outings. Historically, their encounters have been relatively balanced, with Metalist holding a slight edge, winning two out of the last ten meetings. However, the lack of away victories for Obolon'-Brovar could play a crucial role in this fixture.

With odds of 2.35 for over 2.5 goals, there is a strong likelihood of an open game, especially given that both teams have shown the ability to find the net in recent matches. Additionally, the odds for both teams to score (BTTS) at 2.2 suggest that the attacking capabilities of both sides could lead to a competitive encounter. Expect a closely contested match with potential for goals as both teams aim to solidify their positions early in the season.
