Polissya Zhytomyr vs FC Kharkiv

Twenty-one goals conceded in thirty rounds Polissya Zhytomyr closed the previous campaign third thanks in part to a high-level defensive phase: twenty-one goals conceded in thirty matches, the same figure as champions Shakhtar. It's the trait that took the club into the Europa League. An opponent new to this level FC Kharkiv are stepping up to the top flight now and have yet to measure their attacking potential against defences of this calibre. Considering the solidity the hosts showed in the previous campaign and the step up demanded of the visitors, the prospect of FC Kharkiv staying within one goal I read at around 78%. A preview with Polissya controlling the spaces.
