NextGOAL tip: Karpaty -1.25 · 3 stars
The last two meetings both ended level: 1-1 at Karpaty and 2-2 at Kudrivka. But the situations of the two teams now are quite different from then, especially the visitors, who have dropped to 16th and lost their most recent match. Karpaty sit 5th with 16 points from 10 matches. This season they have scored 17 and conceded 8, numbers that show attack and defence are still working together. Their recent form is unbeaten in three straight, but what is still missing is a convincing win, because in their last five matches they have won by just a single goal each time they won. Kudrivka, meanwhile, have lost 7 of 10, have already conceded 24 goals, and lost their latest match 1-3. Their defence is a clear problem. The pattern of play is likely to be Karpaty dominating the ball and pushing high, while Kudrivka sit back and wait to counter. The first half may still be tight because the visitors will focus on closing the spaces, but in the second half, when the game opens up and Karpaty push harder, that should be the period when goals come and the game breaks apart.
