Polesie vs Copenhagen: Team News and Expert Analysis
The club from Zhytomyr managed to surpass even one of the local giants, Dynamo Kyiv, last season. However, they eventually lost out not only to Shakhtar but also to the sensational LNZ, finishing third. Over the summer, they mostly picked up wins, including an 11-0 against Vergl. But their most recent matches, against Shimizu and Viktoria Plzen, ended in defeat.
The Danish giants are always focused solely on the championship. But last season was a failure: after a "golden double," they finished only seventh. However, by regrouping at the end, they won the play-offs to qualify for the Conference League. After the break, they beat Mjallby 5-3 in a friendly. That was followed by a draw with Viktoria Plzen and wins over Horsens and Viborg.
The Ukrainians averaged 1.7 goals scored per game while conceding 0.7. The ambitious visitors, even in their unsuccessful 2025/2026 season, scored 2.09 goals per match and conceded 1.38.

Both sides will try to win here. We expect this to be an entertaining encounter—back "both teams to score" (odds – 1.80).
