⚽️ Goals Prediction
Zorya have scored in the first half in six consecutive home head-to-head matches against the Odessa side, while Chornomorets, for their part, have conceded before half-time in 6 of their last 7 away matches (Premier League statistics only).

⭐ Editorial Prediction
Zorya are favourites, but a run of seven UPL matches in which they have conceded in every game makes a clean-sheet win hard to count on. Chornomorets need points to achieve their main objective for the season, which pushes them to look for opportunities going forward despite their problems in front of goal. We'll take the risk of suggesting the visitors will get on the scoresheet, making Both Teams to Score - Yes our pick. Predicted score: 2-1.
