The rating accounts for tackles won, interceptions, aerial duels, and blocks throughout the season.

Midfield Control

Oleksandria field 5 midfielders averaging 6.71, versus Zorya Luhansk's 4 rated 6.66. Midfield ratings reflect passing accuracy, interceptions, key passes, and overall control of possession — the team that dominates midfield typically dictates the tempo and territory of the match.

Passing & Build-Up

Passing accuracy averages 78% for Oleksandria and 76% for Zorya Luhansk. Higher passing accuracy generally indicates a possession-based style with patient build-up through the thirds, while lower figures may suggest a more direct, counter-attacking approach with long balls and quick transitions.

Discipline

Oleksandria's starters have collected 22 yellow cards this season, compared to 16 for Zorya Luhansk. Yellow cards reflect how aggressively a team presses and tackles — a high count may indicate a physical, high-pressing style but also risks suspensions and late free-kicks in dangerous areas.

Lower figures may suggest rotation, injuries, or emerging players still earning their place in the team.
