At the same time, three teams from the first league at the end of last season had the right to try their luck in the elite division of Ukraine. “Ingulets” and “Rukh” played their matches in the first round, earning one point for two. Lviv’s team was defeated by Vorskla, conceding four goals at half, and Lavrinenko’s team gave Dnipro-1 a deserved rejection. Now in the UPL begins and “Minaj”, who expects a very serious opponent – “Alexandria”. Sharan’s footballers did not make it to the European cups and will now concentrate their forces only on the national championship, making them candidates for high positions.

Figures and facts
- “Minaj” will play his first game in the Premier League, which means that in the framework of the championship he did not meet “Alexandria”. Also, we are not in the country cup, which means that the next game is the first in the history of their confrontation.
- The debut also awaits Vasily Kobin, who returns to the first division, but as a coach. As a footballer, he managed to play for Karpaty, Transcarpathia, Metalist, Veres and Shakhtar. As part of the latter, he won eight trophies (six championships)
- Representatives of the Transcarpathian region previously played in the first league. On the first try, they managed to take first place, establish a historic achievement, and went on to UPL
- Alexandria finished last season in fifth place and won the right to play in the European Cup playoffs. There, his path was short: the defeat of “Mariupol” in the first stage
- Most of the last games with the participation of “neighbors” end very productively. Sharan’s team scores in 18 straight games (36 goals) and concedes in 10 straight games (25)
- Vladimir Sharan can witness two events at once – his clubs can score the 100th away goal at UPL or miss the 150th.
- Despite the debut in the Premier League, three “Minaya” players can look forward to an anniversary: Kozhanov will have the opportunity to score the 30th goal in the Ukrainian championship, Golodyuk – 15th, Tkachuk – 10th
Followers and medical protocol
For fans of “Minaya” Sunday will be a real party. The club will not only make its Premier League debut, it will do so in-game with the audience. The difficult epidemiological situation did not scare the UAF leadership and the stadiums will be open for two matches of the round. Yes, with a variety of restrictions and warnings available for review … However, the mere fact of having fans will have to inspire Vasily Kobin’s team.
Compositions
“Pass”:
During the transfer window, the western Ukrainian club signed a contract with experienced footballers who had already bet on friendly matches. First of all, we are talking about Shinder and Kozhanov. Anton, who returned from Germany, shone in two games for Vorskla, scoring three goals during this time.
Kobin’s main defeat is Peter Stasyuk’s departure to Mariupol. The defender was the main one on the left flank and now the young mentor will have to solve a difficult task with his substitute. But in the center of defense we await the departure of Croatian Matic, who has already proven himself quite well.
Indicative composition: Popovich – Melichenko, Matkobozhik, Matic, Dopilka – Tkachuk, Golodyuk – Verb, Nuriev, Kozhanov – Shinder
“Alexandria”:
The main reinforcement of the “citizens” this summer is the signing of a new contract with Kaspar Dubra. The Latvian footballer was the main defender throughout last season, but the parties could not agree on continued cooperation for a long time. Because of this, he even missed the opening match against Mariupol. Also, very recently, Alexandria signed Janczak, who had previously played in Slovakia.

Sharan has a loss before the game reported: Gleb Bukhal will not play due to injury. Otherwise, the coach will be able to free his main spine on the field, since Vladimir Bogdanovich is not a fan of grandiose experiments.
Indicative composition: Pankiv – Pashaev, Dubra, Baboglo, Miroshnichenko – Grechishkin – Luchkevich, Banada, Kovalets, Tretyakov – Bezborodko
Prediction for the match “Minaj” – “Alexandria” 0: 2
Kobin’s team will face a difficult match against an experienced and well-played rival. Yes, the hosts will be overwhelmed with the emotions of their elite debut, and the fans in the stadium will propel them forward. However, Vladimir Sharan has seen a lot on his way as a coach and it is unlikely that his opponent will be able to surprise him with something in Sunday’s game. “Ciudadanos” will come out with the strongest composition and, with a high degree of probability, will lead the match to the final victory.
