Early results in the 2026–27 Ukrainian Premier League have quickly separated the bottom group, with Kudrivka and Kolos Kovalivka on just two points after five matches, Obolon Kyiv on three after six, and Chornomorets Odesa and Livyi Bereh Kyiv on four. Pre-season models already flagged Kudrivka and Obolon for the highest relegation probabilities, citing squad strength and recent promotion/relegation patterns. The bottom two face direct drop to the First League, while 13th and 14th enter play-offs against promoted sides. Upcoming fixtures, including the direct clash between Kudrivka and Kolos, plus the financial and squad limitations noted for clubs like Chornomorets, continue to shape trader views on which teams are most likely to finish in the relegation spots by season’s end.
