Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Chernomorets vs Zorya

Chernomorets

Chernomorets failed to show itself well during the preparation for the season, the team managed to participate in five friendly matches, winning one victory and two draws, and also suffering two defeats. The last friendly match was also unsuccessful for Oleksandr Babich's guys, in which the team lost to Alexandria 0:2. Apparently, the Odessans did not draw any conclusions, since in the very first official meeting the team failed again, losing away to Kryvbas 0:1.

The updated "sailors" showed themselves from a good side in the first round of the UPL, although this did not give them any points. 

Zorya

Zorya was more active in preparing for the season, the club managed to participate in seven friendly matches, winning two and drawing three, and also suffering two defeats. The last match of the preparation was not bad for the charges of Yuriy Koval, in which the team beat Al-Taawun 2:0. The Luhansk team also showed themselves well in the first match of the Premier League, breaking the resistance of Ingulets 2:1. The accurate strikes of Basich and Yatsyk brought the "black and whites" victory.

The potential and ambitions of the current Zarya are difficult to discern, the opening games of the tournament should clarify the situation a little.

Game Totals Prediction

Chernomorets is currently performing poorly, the team cannot seriously fight for high positions. Zorya has started the championship well, the main thing is not to slow down. Both teams are enigmas by and large, they have changed dramatically in the summer and are unlikely to become stronger. As for the face-to-face meeting, Koval's guys have a slightly better chance of success, the "black and white" will be able to get the better of the "sailors" due to their higher individual skill: Zorya's victory - 1.95.
