Kolos Kovalivka vs Chornomorets Predictions

Kolos Kovalivka, managed by Oleksandr Pozdeyev, sit 11th in the Premier League with 18 points from 18 matches as of mid-February 2025. Their last outing before the break was a 2-0 win over Inhulets Petrove on December 14, 2024, with goals from Oleh Ilyin and Andriy Tsurikov, ending a five-game winless streak (2D, 3L). At home, Kolos have been inconsistent, winning four of nine league games (4W, 3D, 2L), scoring 12 goals and conceding 8. Preseason friendlies showed promise, including a 1-0 win over J2 League side Fagiano Okayama on February 15, but injuries to Serhiy Myakushko (hamstring) and Vadym Milko (knee) linger. Artem Husol (5 goals) and Diego Carioca will lead the attack, supported by new signing Oleksandr Demchenko from Oleksandriya.

Chornomorets, under Roman Hryhorchuk, are struggling in 15th place with 14 points from 18 matches, teetering above the relegation zone. Their last competitive match was a 1-0 loss to Dynamo Kyiv on December 15, 2024, extending a dismal run of one win in eight (1W, 2D, 5L). Away form has been dire—just two wins in nine league games (2W, 3D, 4L), with 8 goals scored and 15 conceded. A 2-1 friendly win over Metalist 1925 on February 14 offers some hope, but injuries to Oleksiy Khoblenko (ankle) and Bohdan Butko (calf) weaken their squad. New signing Maksym Braharu from Dynamo Kyiv adds flair, joining Oleksandr Vasyliev (4 goals) and Danylo Holub in attack.

Historically, Kolos hold a slight edge, winning three of eight meetings (Chornomorets: 3W, 2D), though their last clash on August 17, 2024, saw Chornomorets win 1-0 at home via Vasyliev’s strike. Kolos have won two of four home games against Chornomorets, including a 2-0 victory in August 2023. With Kolos’ home advantage and Chornomorets’ relegation battle, this match hinges on Kolos’ defensive solidity (0.89 goals conceded per home game) against Chornomorets’ need for points.
