Polessya demonstrate impressive form in their last five matches (4 wins, 1 loss) and earn an average of 2.4 points per game, making them the favorites for this fixture. The hosts have a positive goal difference at home (+5) and high efficiency with a 60% clean sheet rate in home matches. Hirnyk, despite a solid unbeaten streak in their last five games, have a weaker away record with a negative goal difference (-3) and concede an average of 1.6 goals on the road. The xG statistics also lean in Polessya's favor (1.42 vs 1.17), suggesting their superiority in creating scoring chances. Taking into account the hosts' advantage in ball possession (54% vs 46%) and better goal-scoring form in recent matches (13 goals vs 7), I expect a victory for Polessya, although Hirnyk's defensive solidity could make it a closely fought match with a possibility of a draw.
