Match Preview
Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih will host Polissya Zhytomyr at Stadion Shakhty Zhovtneva on Saturday, 13 September, in a crucial Premier League clash. Kryvbas comes into this match with a mixed bag of results, winning two of their last five games but struggling with two losses and a draw. In contrast, Polissya is on a downward spiral, having lost all of their last five fixtures, which places significant pressure on them to turn their fortunes around.
A key angle to consider is Kryvbas's home advantage, where they have historically performed better against Polissya. In their last ten encounters, Kryvbas has managed to secure a win at home, alongside two draws. The teams have also shown a tendency to score against each other, with three of their last ten meetings seeing both teams find the net. Given Polissya's current form and Kryvbas's relative stability, this match could be pivotal for both sides, with Kryvbas likely to capitalise on their home ground to secure vital points.
