That's a complete record in Dynamo's favour, though it covers different competitions and seasons, so it's background rather than a guarantee for this fixture.
History leans heavily towards Dynamo, even allowing for how form can shift over time.
League Table Gap
Dynamo Kyiv sit third in the Ukrainian Premier League with 16 points from eight matches, built on five wins, one draw and two losses. Kryvbas KR are down in 16th with just five points from seven games, having won only once.
| № | Team | Played | Win | Draw | Loss | GF/GA | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | Polessya | 9 | 7 | 1 | 1 | 20/8 | 22 |
| 3 | Dynamo Kyiv | 8 | 5 | 1 | 2 | 11/8 | 16 |
| 4 | Karpaty | 9 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 17/8 | 15 |
| 14 | Chornomorets | 8 | 1 | 2 | 5 | 5/11 | 5 |
| 15 | Kudrivka | 9 | 1 | 2 | 6 | 10/21 | 5 |
| 16 | Kryvbas KR | 7 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 7/13 | 5 |
The goal difference tells a similar story. Dynamo have scored 11 and conceded 8, while Kryvbas have conceded 13 and scored only 7.
It's still early in the campaign, so this gap isn't fixed, but it reflects where both sides currently stand.

How This One Could Play Out
Dynamo arrive with a comfortable table position, decent recent form and a perfect head-to-head record against this opponent. Kryvbas, by contrast, are struggling at home and have lost more than half their matches this season.
The obvious scenario favours Dynamo taking control, but Kryvbas's need for points near the bottom of the table could make them a more committed side than their numbers suggest.

Dynamo Kyiv look the stronger side on current evidence, sitting third in the table with a perfect record against Kryvbas KR and healthier recent form. Kryvbas's struggles at both ends of the pitch make them the weaker side by most measures right now.
Without a market price to weigh against that picture, we're not making a selection here, but the underlying trend clearly points towards Dynamo being well placed.
