They've been involved in some absolute thrillers recently, including that spectacular 4-3 Cup victory and a 1-3 league loss that shows they're always in for goals, whether scoring or conceding.

Veres Rivne might not be scoring bucketloads away from home (1.20 per game), but they're certainly not shy about getting involved in shootouts.
