Team News: Vorskla Poltava
There is just a single fitness concern for the Vorskla Poltava boss Viktor Skrypnyk to be concerned with from an otherwise fully-primed group. Danylo Izotov (Meniscus injury) won’t play.

Prediction
Our thinking is that Chornomorets Odessa certainly have the ability to find the back of the net against this Vorskla Poltava team, however it is unlikely to prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.
We’re expecting a narrow 2-1 win for Vorskla Poltava by the time that the referee blows the final whistle. Looking forward to this.
