Leader against the third team, which has already taken points away from the reigning champion this season. A favorite after a crushing defeat that requires rehabilitation in the eyes of the fans. The desire of the underdog coach, who also played quite well for the current rival, to avenge the insulting defeat in the National Cup final. In fact, this will be the central match of the eleventh round, from which we expect, if not a brilliant show, at least an intriguing plot.

The top scorers in the confrontation between the players now playing for both teams are Vitaly Buyalsky and Viktor Tsygankov at Dynamo (three goals each) and Ruslan Stepanyuk at Vorskla (two goals).
- “Dynamo” in the current season at home is not the best way: +2 = 2-1 (away from Kiev five wins out of five). Vorskla has nine points from six away games.

ORIENTATION FORMULATIONS
Sidorchuk will not play for Dynamo due to disqualification. Before the game against Barcelona, Mircea Lucescu said that Viktor Tsygankov had already passed a negative test for coronavirus, but the leader of the Dynamo attacks did not even get into the application. It is not known if it will be this time, there were no messages from the club. But it is unlikely that we will see Shaparenko on the right again. Verbic is more likely to play for the wing, and possibly Karavaev, because Mikolenko, thanks to Popov’s return, can play in the center of defense. Benjamin played against Barça on the edge, now we hope to come out in the attack of Supryaga. Garmash will re-enter midfield, most likely Shepelev sits on the bench.
Buschan – Kendzera, Zabarny, Popov, Mikolenko – Garmash, Shaparenko – Verbich, Buyalsky, de Pena – Supryaga
As part of “Vorskla” there are two questions: who will play in the gate and in attack. In the last round it was Tkachenko and Shcherbak. This time there may be Riznyk and Kulach. The question is, are they healthy? Still no clarity. Otherwise, we will see the traditional tactic with three centers and Canet as a free artist.
Tkachenko – Perduta, Chesnakov, Yavorsky, Alyun, Yakubu – Sklyar, Putzlin, Kane – Stepanyuk – Kulach
FORECAST FOR DYNAMO – VORSKLA MATCH 2: 1
Yuri Maksimov has already shown that he knows how to resist the giants. But in the Cup final the Dynamo were led by Mikhailichenko, and Shakhtar are not very successful this season. Mircea Lucescu is a different story. This is the coach who can even force Vorskla to act like number one and ultimately get the most out of it. “Dynamo” will be difficult, given Sidorchuk’s absence and Tsygankov’s incomprehensible form. But the Kiev fans still have a better chance of winning.
