Polissya Zhytomyr vs FC Dynamo Kiev Best odds and tips

Dynamo Kyiv’s away form is a fortress and the hosts Polissya Zhytomyr are unlikely to find a way to scale those walls on Friday. Oleksandr Shovkovskyi’s men have been in scintillating form in the Premier League 2024/2025, winning four and drawing one of their last five league matches to stay top of the table with 67 points from 27 games. Dynamo’s attacking style of play, led by talisman Vladyslav Vanat, who has scored 17 goals in 25 league games this season, is one that is adaptable to the situation and they will try to control the game from the middle and let their creative midfielders, such as Vitaliy Buyalskyi, do their magic.

Polissya are a much more defensive team and will be looking to keep things tight and compact at the back, where they have conceded only 0.85 goals per game at home. Imad Ashur has only just taken over as manager of the 5th-placed side, who have 43 points from 27 games, and is yet to get a major result that will stamp his authority on the club. Polissya have won only one of their last five league matches, drawing two and losing two, so their form is patchy at best. Oleksiy Hutsuliak has been their main goal threat this season with 11 in 26 league games, but Borys Krushynskyi has chipped in with two of the last five league goals as he has found his form over the last few weeks.

Dynamo Kyiv have won two of their last three Premier League 2024/2025 meetings with Polissya Zhytomyr and, with 29 goals scored in 13 away games, they have the firepower to win this matchup. Both sides remain in the upper reaches of the Premier League and there is plenty of pride and points to play for in this clash, but Dynamo’s away form and the sheer attacking quality they possess should see them edge this contest. Dynamo are odds-on at 1.50 to win this game, which is much better than Polissya Zhytomyr’s 4.75 price. With Dynamo's away scoring record, the odds on the away win look a good bet.
