Karpaty Lviv Team Overview
Karpaty, on the other hand, have been solid at the back - just four goals conceded across eight pre-season friendlies, and only five in ten official matches last season. Whether they can hold off the hosts is another question entirely. Any goal from Kryvbas will force them to open up. Sitting deep and absorbing pressure made sense in friendlies, but in the Premier League there's no point grinding through ninety minutes just to protect a draw.
