Vorskla – LNZ. Forecast and announcement for the match of the championship of Ukraine

In the fourteenth round of the Ukrainian football Premier League of the 2024-2025 season, on Saturday, November 23, “Vorskla” and “LNZ” will meet in Poltava. The home team of the last round finally won the long-awaited victory over Chornomorets and will host LNZ, which is in search of optimal form.

Vorskla Finally, for the first time since August, the “Vorsklites” were able to get 3 points in the UPL, defeating the Odessa “Chornomorets” and continue the series of victories over the “sailors”. After the game, the head coach of the team Yuriy Maksymov noted that the Vorskla players will train, go to every game and play to win.

Considering that the “green and white” are on the 12th step (13 points) in the immediate vicinity of the relegation zone, Maksymov’s wards must now take points to protect themselves from getting into an unpleasant situation. And a victory over LNZ, which the Poltava club has never won before, can be a good opportunity for this.

LNZ Although the Cherkasy team is higher than “Vorskla” in the standings (6th place), it also cannot boast of ideal form: only 2 victories in the last 11 matches (over “Zorya” and “Ingulets”), and also relegation from the first league “Viktoria” in the Cup of Ukraine in the penalty shootout. And after the extreme defeat in the Ukrainian Premier League against the “brewers”, information began to appear in the media that LNZ could be headed by another coach instead of Carrasco. Such names as Hryhorchuk, Lyubenovych, Kucher and Bartulovych appeared, but then the management of LNZ assured that this information is fiction, and the Cherkasy club continues to trust the Spanish coach.

And therefore, after these statements, Carrasco’s wards need to beat “Vorskla” in order to justify the trust of the club’s management.

Statistics of meetings The teams played 2 matches between themselves, where the victory of LNZ and a draw was recorded. The difference in goals scored is 1:0 in favor of the Cherkasy club. Last season, in the first round, the teams drew “fresh” 0:0. And in the second round, LNZ won a narrow 1:0 victory thanks to a goal by Olivier Till.

Forecast for the confrontation

“Vorskla”, inspired by success in the previous round, will want to continue the pleasant moments and win the next match. At the same time, LNZ will be motivated to rehabilitate for the loss of “Obolon” and catch up with their competitors, and therefore they will have to play for victory. Considering that both teams need to get 3 points, our prediction is a draw.

Estimated compositions:

“Vorskla”: Isenko, Krupsky, Huchek, Batsula, Perduta, Myakushko, Sklyar, Chelyadin, Kane, Kovtalyuk, Iede

LNH: Kucherenko, Pasich, Muravskyi, Salihu, Putria, Boyko, Till, Yashari, Topalov, Momo, Halaila
