On Saturday, the central match of the round will take place at the NSC Olimpiyskiy: the championship leader, the Dynamo will host the third team of the championship, Vorskla. Yuri Maksimov’s team this season is rightfully considered one of the main discoveries of the championship.
Having started with three wins in a row, Poltava’s team indicated that they intend to fight for high places, which seemed unrealistic last season. But Maksimov, not getting new players, quickly built a team that last season did not have enough to miraculously break into the Europa League. In the Ukrainian Cup final, it was Dynamo who got in the way of Poltava, beating Vorskla only on penalties and brightening up the disastrous season at least a little.
Mircea Lucescu, having led the Dynamo in the summer, like Maksimov in Vorskla, with the exception of Garmash, Supryaga and Rodrigues, who returned from loan, also received no roster reinforcement. But he did what Alexander Khatskevich failed three times in a row: he led the team to the group stage of the Champions League. Sadly, in the main Old World tournament, Dynamo didn’t work out, but with Barcelona and Juventus in the group, frankly speaking, it was hard to expect more than the fight for a place in the Europa League with Ferencvaros. “But in the league The Dynamo are doing quite well: the Blue and Whites, despite their head-to-head loss to Shakhtar, are 3 points ahead of their rival in the standings.
Under Lucescu, Dynamo does not lose points in the championship with those with whom it should not. In addition to the loss to Shakhtar, the Kiev team lost points to last season’s third and fourth teams – Zorya and Desna. Mircea Lucescu’s team had no tangible problems with other rivals.
“Vorskla” in ten matches lost only once – to one of the outsiders – “Lvov”. This defeat did not disturb the team: Poltava then imposed a fight on Zarya in Zaporozhye (0: 0), and in the last round they faced strong Kolos (3: 0). This is despite the fact that on the eve of the game in Vorskla due to damage, several main players dropped out at once: Kulach, Sapay, Vasin, Opanasenko. And Dmitry Riznyk withdrew from the team due to a positive test for coronavirus.
The Dynamo have been suffering a lot in recent weeks from the coronavirus, which has had almost the entire main clip, including three goalkeepers at once. For the second leg with Barcelona, only Rodrigues and Tsygankov did not recover from the main players, who were infected by the virus at the location of the teams. Besides them, Lucescu will definitely not be able to count on the captain of the team, Sergei Sidorchuk. The FTC UAF handed him three matches on expulsion disqualification against Shakhtar. Sidorchuk has already missed a game against Ingulets, two remain. In general, the staffing situation at Dynamo is much better than it was two or three weeks ago. Mircea Lucescu even sent Giorgi Tsitashvili to play for the U21 team.
Interestingly, Yuriy Maksimov played Mircea Lucescu, who coached Shakhtar, as coach of three teams: Kryvbas, Obolon and Metallurg Donetsk. In total, Lucescu and Maksimov played seven matches against each other, and all seven were won by the Romanian specialist with a total score of … 22-0. Therefore, it must be essential for Vorskla’s mentor to take the first points to Mircea Lucescu’s team.
For Dynamo, Vorskla has recently been a suitable opponent. In the championship, the Kievists defeated Poltava in the last seven matches. Will the Kievans extend the winning streak in games with the “green-whites”? We will see him on Saturday at the NSC “Olimpiyskiy”.
Approximate compositions:
“Dynamo”: Buschan, Mikolenko, Zabarny, Kendzera, Karavaev, Shepelev, Garmash, Verbich, Shaparenko, Buyalsky, Supryaga.
Vorskla: Tkachenko, Yavorsky, Alyun, Chesnakov, Sklyar, Putzlin, Perduta, Yakubu, Kane, Shcherbak, Stepanyuk.
