Predictions & Betting Tips

Cherkasy have been tough to beat

Veres are going through a rough patch and lost their fourth consecutive league game when they were beaten 3-1 at Oleksandriya last weekend. Oleh Shandruk has been in charge at the club since December 2023, but he is under pressure after the recent poor run. LNZ have picked up only 30 points from their 29 Premier League games in 2024-2025 and sit five points behind the hosts in 11th place. Roman Grigorchuk has done a good job since taking charge in December 2024, installing a defensive mentality. For this Veres Rivne vs LNZ Cherkasy preview, Veres are a balanced and compact team, capable of defending well in numbers and attacking on the break. But Cherkasy’s high-tempo pressing game and wide play could unsettle their midfield if the visitors are on their game from the start. Veteran winger Artem Favorov is the experienced man in LNZ’s line-up and usually does a good job of creating from wide areas. Muharrem Jashari has become their biggest goal threat from a midfield role, scoring five Premier League goals in 28 appearances this term. Dmytro Nevmyvaka is a defensive midfielder and set-piece specialist for Veres. His ability to break up play and start counter-attacks will be vital against Cherkasy.

Two teams with similar goals

The last three Premier League head-to-heads have seen one win apiece and one draw, but the fact that Veres won the away game 2-1 suggests they might not roll over at home. Our Veres Rivne vs LNZ Cherkasy prediction is that they have a decent chance in front of their own fans. They have won one and lost one of their last two league matches in Rivne and have a balanced record at their home ground all season. Cherkasy have won only two of their 14 road games in the league, but have improved a little with two successive road draws, suggesting they can be tough to break down on their travels. Additionally, our Veres Rivne vs LNZ Cherkasy betting tips highlight that the visitors’ defensive approach could result in another stalemate. The two sides are priced the same for the game at +167 and it really looks like a toss-up to us. No real rivalry exists, but both teams are clinging on to lower mid-table positions and a win would be a bonus to their survival prospects. A draw looks the most likely result given the Cherkasy are on a run of five straight stalemates in the league and we will take them to keep that sequence going at a tempting +210. In summary, the Veres Rivne vs LNZ Cherkasy prediction for this match leans towards another draw.
