Trostianets host Chernihiv in the Ukrainian Cup. It's a meeting between clubs from different levels of the pyramid, and their recent league form paints two quite different pictures.
Chernihiv have had a stop-start few months in Persha Liga, while Trostianets have been the steadier of the two lower down in Druha Liga. That contrast, plus a couple of past meetings that both finished goalless, gives us a decent starting point before kickoff.

Chernihiv's numbers are shakier. Across their last 20 games they've won just 3, drawn 8 and lost 9, shipping 27 goals against 21 scored. Their recent form has bounced around too, with a L-W-L-W-D sequence in their last five, so there's no real momentum either way there.
Despite playing a division below Chernihiv, Trostianets' underlying numbers this season look a touch healthier.
Comparative Team Statistics: Trostianets vs Chernihiv

Head-to-head: two tight stalemates
The only two recorded meetings between these sides, in April 2025 and September 2024, both finished 0-0. That's a small sample and both games came in Druha Liga rather than in cup competition, so it's not a guarantee of another low-scoring night.
| League | Home | Away | Date | Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Druha Liga | Trostianets | Chernihiv | 26.04.2025 | 0-0 |
| Druha Liga | Chernihiv | Trostianets | 13.09.2024 | 0-0 |
Still, it's a pattern worth noting when neither side has been banging in goals for fun lately.

What to expect from this cup tie
This is a cup fixture pitting a Druha Liga side against Persha Liga opposition, so there's an obvious gap in level on paper. But Chernihiv's league form hasn't matched their tier this season, while Trostianets have looked reasonably solid at their own level, including that recent away win.
Add in a head-to-head history of two draws with no goals at all, and this has the look of a match that could go either way, or could even be tight and low-scoring again.
Both teams arrive with mixed signals. Trostianets look steadier by the numbers despite playing a level down, while Chernihiv's tier status isn't currently backed up by their results.
With no pricing to assess and a genuinely open-looking contest based on form and history, sitting this one out feels like the sensible call.
