Kudrivka can provide a test for Levy Bereg
Background
These two clubs have been in the same division, but with the 2026-2027 season set to kick off, the Premier League looks wide open.
Recent form
FC Levy Bereg Kiev are the more established side and come into the season opener on a poor run of results after winning two, drawing one and losing seven of their previous ten matches in all competitions. Their latest three games have seen them lose 1-0 to FC Metalist 1925 Kharkiv, draw 1-1 away at FC Oleksandriya and then beat the same opponents 1-0 at home. Not the most convincing sequence of results you could imagine heading into the big dance.
They look a bit better on home field, where they have won two and lost two of their four matches in all competitions, but neither they nor their visitors are in the most encouraging of form heading into this matchup. Kudrivka have won two, drawn one and lost two of their most recent five contests, which saw them draw 2-2 away at Ahrobiznes Volochysk prior to a 5-1 defeat at the hands of Shakhtar Donetsk.
Punters should back goals
Tactics and key players
- Coached by Oleksandr Protchenko since May 5th 2026, FK Kudrivka have been moulded into a compact team that can sting opponents on the break.
- Andriy Storchous has been the main spark for the club with two goals in the last five, while Raymond Owusu is more of a creative player with one assist in the one Premier League 2026/2027 match he has featured in so far.
Defence and attack
Alexander Ryabokon's men are a more of a pressing team, playing high-intensity soccer and making the majority of their runs vertically. They have conceded only four goals at home across all competitions, an average of 1.00 per game, which indicates their defence is solid but not especially prolific. Meanwhile, the visitors have scored eight goals in four away matches, which suggests they can punch above their weight on the road.
Odds and prediction
FC Levy Bereg Kiev are the favorites at 1.97, while FK Kudrivka can be had at 3.76, but we like the look of Over 2.5 goals, which is available at 1.98, while Both teams to score is live at 1.91. It looks like a matchup of pressing versus countering, so it could be a chess match, but we think this should be more of a battle than the odds suggest it will be.
