Match preview

Bukovyna host LNZ Cherkasy in the Ukrainian Cup Round of 32, with both sides aiming to advance in knockout competition. Recent fixtures between these two clubs have been marked by exceptional defensive compactness, with their previous two meetings in 2026 both finishing in scoreless draws.

Bukovyna enter this tie on solid defensive footing, having kept clean sheets in three of their last five competitive matches. That run includes decisive shutout victories against Dynamo Kyiv and Nyva Ternopil, demonstrating their ability to absorb pressure and maintain defensive discipline.

LNZ Cherkasy travel to Chernivtsi looking to find offensive rhythm after a quiet stretch in front of goal. Having been held scoreless in four of their last five matches, their recent fixtures have consistently yielded low goal totals, setting up another tightly contested cup clash.
