Recent history and current form suggests no clear winner
This FC Ingulets Petrove vs FC Vorskla Poltava preview reflects that these teams last met in the league five months ago when Inhulets pulled off an impressive 3-0 away win, but that result and the fact that Vorskla are three-points clear of the drop with superior away form suggests the visitors may just about have the edge this Friday.
Vorskla have scored 12 goals in 14 away league games this season (W3, D5, L6), compared to Inhulets’ eight in 14 at home (W4, D2, L8), and Denys Ndukve is red hot for the visitors with three of their five goals in their most recent five coming from his boot.
Vorskla’s new manager, Yuriy Maksymov, has been in charge since late October 2024 and has made the team more dynamic in possession, improving the team’s ability to keep the ball moving and getting them to press with a bit more confidence in midfield.
However, Vasyl Kobin, who only took the reins at Inhulets in mid-June, has favoured a more disciplined, less risky approach, which could see these two clubs play a tight, cagey game on Friday. The FC Ingulets Petrove vs FC Vorskla Poltava prediction for this section indicates a tense, low-scoring affair.
Inhulets have averaged just 0.57 goals per game at home in 2024-25, so betting on under 2.5 goals also looks promising.
