SK Poltava vs Epitsentr Dunayivtsi Prediction - 8th December 2025

This basement clash between the Premier League's bottom two sides looks set to be a tight, low-scoring affair. SK Poltava sits rock bottom with just 9 points from 14 games, while Epitsentr Dunayivtsi aren't much better off in 14th with 11 points. The home side's form has been abysmal, managing only one win in their last 10 matches (0.50 points per game). They've been particularly poor at home, failing to win any of their last 4 home fixtures while conceding 2.00 goals per game. Their defensive record is alarming with zero clean sheets in 10 games, though they did shock everyone with a 2-1 victory at Dynamo Kyiv in their last outing. Epitsentr Dunayivtsi have shown slightly better form with 1.10 points per game over their last 10 matches. Crucially, they've been excellent on the road recently, winning 3 of their last 5 away games while keeping a tight defensive record (0.60 goals conceded per game away). Their recent results include two 0-0 draws against Metalist 1925 Kharkiv and Polessya, showing they can be tough to break down. The head-to-head record heavily favors Epitsentr, who have won 3 of the 4 previous meetings, including a 2-0 victory in the last encounter. SK Poltava have never beaten Epitsentr in four attempts. Given both teams' struggles in attack - SK Poltava averaging just 0.80 goals per game and Epitsentr 1.40 - combined with Epitsentr's solid away defense and the high stakes of a relegation battle, this match has all the hallmarks of a cagey, low-scoring contest. The goal expectancy figures (Home 0.68, Away 1.60) further support this view.
