FC Polissya Zhytomyr vs FC Dynamo Kyiv Prediction 9 May 2025

This match carries significant weight for both sides, each with something left to fight for in the closing stages of the season.

Polissya's recent form has been far from consistent. Since April, they've managed just one win — a 2-0 victory over Vorskla — while settling for 1-1 draws against Karpaty, Livyi Bereh, and Kolos, and suffering a narrow 1-2 defeat to Oleksandriya. Currently sitting fourth in the table with 43 points and a goal difference of 36:27, the Wolves are under pressure, with several rivals breathing down their neck.

Dynamo Kyiv, on the other hand, leads the standings with 67 points and a commanding goal difference of 59:17. Their recent run has been impressive: convincing wins over Livyi Bereh (2:0), Kryvbas (2:0), Obolon (3:0), and Inhulets (4:0), along with a competitive 2-2 draw against Shakhtar. With a four-point lead over their nearest challenger, the White-Blues are determined to maintain their grip at the top.

While both teams remain motivated by their respective goals, the visitors come into this matchup as clear favorites. Dynamo boasts superior squad depth and individual quality, which is likely to tip the balance in their favor. Polissya will need to deliver an inspired performance to pull off an upset, but the odds strongly favor a Dynamo victory.
