Figures and facts
- Both teams lost first round matches. “Zorya” in Chernigov lost to “Desna” 1: 3, the first to open an account (Favorov scored against Lugansk). “Mariupol” also suffered an even bigger loss to “Alexandria” 1: 4 (the goal was scored by Kulakov).
- this will be Ostap Markevich’s second game at UPL in general and “Mariupol” in particular. As can be seen from the previous point, the coach is still without victories at the highest level of Ukrainian football.
- Let us remind you that “Mariupol” will host eleven straight away games this fall. This is due to the reconstruction of their stadium turf, so the team cannot play at home yet.
- Last season, Zorya and Mariupol had two direct confrontations. The first of them, in Zaporozhye, ended goalless, and in Mariupol the Luhansk team won 2: 1.
- for “Zorya” it will be the first game at home this season. It will be timely to recall that the Lugansk team scored in every home game in 2020.
- Zorya last beat Mariupol in a home game in the summer of 2018. In the next two games at the “Slavutich-Arena”, the “black and white” could not even score: a 0: 0 draw and a 0: 1 loss.
- During the international break, “Zarya” was replenished with the famous forward Alexander Gladky. The transfer campaign for “Mariupol” is more modest, but more interesting: they released center-back Dzhoyskim Dava to Latvia, took Igor Kiryukhantsev on loan for one more season, and exchanged players with “Chernomorets”: Ilya Putrya was fired from the Azov team and Vyacheslav Velev was booked.
Compositions
“Zarya”
Out: Makharadze (injury)
We expect the Lugansk team to return to the Ivanisenya start to the position of a deep playmaker. Most likely, Nazarina will have to watch the game from the bench from the first minutes. Perhaps Lunev will eliminate Khomchenovsky early on, but don’t forget that Maxim played for Ukraine’s youth team in early September, so he may be functionally inferior to his competitor in position.
The approximate composition of “Zarya” (from left to right): Shevchenko – Grechkin, Abu Khanna, Vernidub, Favorov – Ivanisenya – Khomchenovsky, Yurchenko, Kochergin – Kabaev, Gromov.
“Mariupol”
Out: Velev (double play)
During the international break, four Priazovtsy defended the colors of the youth team of our country. Perhaps this is why Ostap Markevich will rotate. We do not exclude the appearance at the start of Chobotenko or Muravsky in defense, and Kiryukhantsev can be very useful for the Azov team on the right flank of the attack.
Approximate composition of “Mariupol” (from left to right): Galchuk – Stasyuk, Sagutkin, Bykov, Tishchenko – Bondarenko, Ignatenko – Mishnev, Topalov, Kiryukhantsev – Kulakov.
Prediction of the match Zorya – Mariupol
Both teams have lost many leaders over the summer, so before the transfer window closes, your task is to complete the roster. So far, Zarya is doing better, which invited, for example, Favorov Sr. and Gladky. “Mariupol” continues to rely more heavily on “Shakhtar” when it comes to leasing, and even here things are not going well, given the team’s problems at certain positions. All of this puts the hosts in a more advantageous position, who should confidently take three points on Sunday. Any other result can be considered a surprise.
Bet: Shoot with a handicap of -1 for 1.81
