Match Preview
Zorya Luhansk will host Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih at the Slavutych-Arena on Monday, 18 August, with both teams looking to improve their standings in the Premier League. Zorya's recent form has been inconsistent, with two wins and three losses in their last five matches. In contrast, Kryvbas has shown resilience, managing two wins and three draws in the same period. This match presents a crucial opportunity for Zorya to leverage home advantage, where they have historically performed well against Kryvbas, winning three of the last ten encounters.
One key angle to consider is the likelihood of both teams scoring. With four of the last ten head-to-head meetings resulting in both teams finding the net, and Zorya's recent tendency to concede, the odds for BTTS at 1.9 appear appealing. Additionally, with both teams averaging over 2.5 goals in their recent fixtures, the odds of 2.2 for over 2.5 goals could also prove to be a worthwhile investment. As the match approaches, expect a competitive clash that could hinge on the attacking prowess of both sides.
