Tactically, the contest promises a fascinating contrast. SC Poltava 2 will look to impose their style on home soil, while Penuel are likely to have ideas of their own about how to gain the upper hand. All of these moments are part of a wider picture that Rice has gone up a level in possession, showing a dramatic improvement in terms of attacking influence on the ball.

The result at the home ground could resonate well beyond matchday in the Druha Liga picture. Important qualities given that Bournemouth will expect him to be proactive.
