With just eight matches played in the Ukrainian Premier League, second-placed Polessya meet third-placed Dynamo Kyiv aiming to build early momentum.
Polessya have made a very strong start to the season, sitting 2nd on 19 points after eight matches. They have won four of their last five fixtures, including clean-sheet victories over Kryvbas KR, Livyi Bereh, and Shakhtar Donetsk, though they were held to a 2-2 draw by Bukovyna in their previous outing.
Defending champions Dynamo Kyiv sit right behind them in 3rd place with 16 points from seven games. They arrive on the back of consecutive league wins against Karpaty and Zorya Luhansk, recovering well from an earlier 3-0 defeat at Bukovyna as they look to close the early gap on the hosts.
