Ten games into the campaign, Obolon'-Brovar sit 14th in the table on seven points having endured a slow start. They enter this clash on the back of consecutive away defeats, having lost 3-0 to Polessya before falling 2-0 against Shakhtar Donetsk last time out. With just one win from their last five league outings, they will be eager to lean on home turf where they recently claimed a 2-0 win over Veres Rivne.

Livyi Bereh are also still finding their feet, sitting 13th on eight points after nine games. They stopped a two-game losing sequence in their most recent match by securing a 0-0 draw at home against LNZ Cherkasy, following a 2-1 defeat at FC Kharkiv and a 3-1 reverse to Zorya Luhansk. Having claimed a 2-0 away win at Epitsentr Dunayivtsi within their last five fixtures, they have shown they can deliver results on the road.
