On Thursday, three more quarterfinalists will be determined in the Ukrainian Cup. In the first early match of the game day in Sumy, Alliance will play with Lviv. We bring to your attention the forecast for this meeting.
"Alliance"
The team from Linden Valley is a representative of the First League, where it performs very well this season, taking fourth place after 14 rounds, which gives a ticket to the play-off matches. Although in the last two matches "Alliance" suffered defeats - at home from "Uzhgorod" (2:3) and away from "Prykarpattia" (1:3). In the current Ukrainian Cup draw, Yuriy Yaroshenko's team managed to pass three opponents - Kramatorsk (2:1), Chernihiv (5:1) and Minai (3:2).
"Lviv"
Lviv are fighting for survival in the Premier League, and so far they are in third place from below, ahead of Chernomorets, which is in the direct relegation zone, only by goal difference. In October, Oleg Dulub's team has not won yet, losing at home to Dnipro-1 (0:1) and Dynamo (1:4), and on the road last Saturday they drew with Chernomorets (1:1). The current draw of the Ukrainian Cup "Lviv" began with the fact that it confidently outplayed "Gornyak-Sport" (2:0).
Statistics and figures
- "Alliance" has won only 1 match out of the last four, losing twice;
- In four of the last five matches of the Alliance, the Total bet was more than 2.5;
- "Alliance" has won 7 matches out of the last eight at home, losing only once;
- "Lviv" has a 3-match winless streak (1 draw + 2 defeats);
- In six of the last eight matches of Lviv, the Total bet was less than 2.5;
- Lviv has a 3-match unbeaten streak in away matches (2 wins + 1 draw).
Forecast
"Alliance" has had considerable problems in defense lately, but at the same time it scores regularly, having scored 10 goals in the last four matches. Lviv cannot relax in Sumy in any case. "Minai" in the 1/16 finals quickly led with a score of 2:0, after which he relaxed, for which he was severely punished. We are waiting for the exchange of goals in this match, and we will not risk assuming a winner.
