Key Players to Watch

Livyi Bereh

• Andriy Spivakov (MID): 4 goals, 3 assists in Ukrainian Premier League; Livyi Bereh’s creative hub.

• Valeriy Kucherov (FWD): 5 goals; key finisher in tight games.

• Dmytro Nepohodov (GK): 3 clean sheets; crucial for defensive solidity.

Veres

• Dmytro Shastal (FWD): 5 goals, 2 assists in Ukrainian Premier League; Veres’ top scorer.

Tactical Insights & Match Dynamics

Livyi Bereh’s 4-2-3-1 (1.06 goals per game) relies on Spivakov’s vision and Kucherov’s finishing, targeting Veres’ inconsistent away defense (1.78 goals conceded per game), though Ivan Petryak’s doubtful status (ankle) may limit their width. Veres’ 4-1-4-1 (1.28 goals per game) hinges on Shastal’s movement and Dakhnovskyi’s flair, pressing high (avg. 49% possession away) to disrupt Livyi Bereh’s build-up, but Mykhailo Protasevych’s absence (knee injury) weakens their midfield. The Dnipro Arena’s 10,000 fans will push Livyi Bereh, potentially forcing an open, high-stakes battle between two sides with survival and mid-table ambitions.
