The LNZ - Polissia battle can be watched online. The opponents crossed paths twice in the Cherkasy region.

Midfielder Zaderaku from Krнvbas is rumored to be moving to LNZ. According to TaToTake, the transfer of former Veres midfielder Hennadiy Pasich cost the UPL debutant a hundred thousand euros. Journalist Senkov drew fans' attention to a detail. Officially, the Rivne team terminated cooperation with the player, whose contract was in effect until 2024. As a result, the transfer fee might have been received in a somewhat unconventional way. Especially considering that Gennadiy himself stated that the transfer was spontaneous and happened very quickly. The LNZ - Polissia match can be watched online.

Defender Nesterov from Polissia has moved to Zvyahel. In the context of the last direct encounter between the opponents, the advantage was on the side of the players from Zhytomyr.
