The stage is set for an intriguing clash this Sunday in the Persha Liha, as FC Metalist Kharkiv prepares to host Ahrobiznes Volochysk on November 30th, 2025. The question on everyone's mind: can FC Metalist Kharkiv overturn their past misfortune? Historically, in their last three encounters, the odds have not favored Metalist. With zero victories, a singular draw, and two defeats, their track record against Ahrobiznes Volochysk is lackluster at best.

In the most recent skirmish on August 16th, 2025, Ahrobiznes Volochysk secured a narrow 1-0 win on their own turf, showcasing their capability to hold their ground against their rivals. But momentum can shift. Both teams head into this fixture licking their wounds from similar 0-3 losses—Metalist to Inhulets Petrove and Ahrobiznes to Bukovyna Chernivtsi. Will these setbacks fuel a fiery performance this time around?

Current standings paint Ahrobiznes Volochysk in a favorable light, as they sit comfortably in 5th place, compared to Metalist's 11th place on the table. Yet, Metalist pin their hopes on their top scorer, M. Bahachanskyi, credited with 2 goals this season. Conversely, Ahrobiznes's playmaker, A. Syomka, dominates the assist chart with 4 decisive contributions.

The player ratings stir the plot further. For FC Metalist Kharkiv, Vladyslav Rybak tops the list with a rating of 7.34, followed closely by Petro Lutsiv and Maksym Bahachanskyi. Meanwhile, Ahrobiznes boasts stellar performances from Artem Syomka sporting an impressive 7.6, with strong support from Maksym Voytikhovskiy and Danylo Khmelovskyi.

Analyzing their playing styles, Metalist exhibits an average possession of 45.5%—a statistic overshadowed by Ahrobiznes's 49.6%. When it comes to set pieces, corners could be pivotal; Metalist averages 3.63 corners per game compared to Ahrobiznes's 3.82. Disciplinary records are neck and neck, with both teams avoiding red cards while accumulating a similar tally of yellow cards: 35 for Metalist and 32 for Ahrobiznes.

Considering these stats, predictions tilt in favor of Ahrobiznes Volochysk, given their superior league position, historical head-to-head dominance, and marginally better player form. However, football is unpredictable, and FC Metalist Kharkiv may just have a trick or two up their sleeve to challenge these expectations.
