The fifth round of the Ukrainian Premier League will begin on Friday with an early match in Rivne, where the local "Veres" will play with the Lviv "Rukh". We bring to your attention the forecast for this meeting.

In the first three rounds, Leonid Kuchuk's team could not get a single point, losing on the road to Kovalevsky Kolos (0:2), and at home being weaker than Metalist Kharkiv (1:2) and Shakhtar Donetsk (0:1). But in the last round, the Lviv team defeated the Luhansk "Dawn" on their own field (3:1).

Forecast
Veres looks like a more stable team this season with a better selection of performers. "Rukh" gave out a strong match with "Zarya", but three weeks have already passed after it, so there can be no talk about some kind of curage. In addition, outside of Lviv, the "yellow-blacks" play mostly unsuccessfully.
