Almost a month after the start of the Premier League, the teams will play the second round. Again, it will not be possible to play every game, because the duel between Rukh and Shakhtar was postponed for a banal reason (in our time): the coronavirus. This game will take place on September 23. The UPL debut match will be played by “Minaj”, who did not play in the first round, and the central match will be in Kiev, where the “Dynamo” will host “Desna”. FootBoom talks about the second round matches of the Favbet league.
Hoping for a productive match between Dynamo and Desna?
We are waiting for the next effective match between Dynamo and Desna. In the first round, both teams extended their scoring streak in the Favbet league: the Kievans scored effective shots in 20 straight home games, the Chernihiv club – in 14 games (both home and away). In addition, “Dynamo” has conceded in 12 games (20 goals) and “Desna” in 9 games in a row. Here it can be added that the Kiev club scores goals in all the encounters with the Chernihiv team. So it turns out that “Dynamo” and “Desna” should exchange effective blows, but Mircea Lucescu’s team is considered the clear favorite of the match. Which is important not only to win, but also to keep all the leaders healthy on the eve of the match with AZ in the Champions League standings.
Will Dnipro-1 be able to extend its streak to 5 games?
An interesting fact: Dnipro-1 invariably scores at least two goals against Olimpik. The teams played four times within the Favbet league and three of them ended in victory for the Dnipro team (2: 0, 3: 1 and 2: 0). Another match ended in favor of “Olímpico” (3: 2).
By the way, Dnipro-1 did not lose at home in 2020. The last time this happened was in December 2019. After that there were only victories, even over the “Olympic”. Then Klimovskiy’s team can interrupt two Dnipro series at the same time, if they draw (or win) and at the same time do not concede more than one goal.
Kolos: a new stadium for luck?
Kolos debut match at the renovated Kovalevka stadium. It is no secret that during these events teams try to play as successfully as possible, but sometimes excessive zeal ends in losses.
However, the statistics show that Kolos should not lose points (much less lose with such precision) in the match against Lvov. First, under the leadership of Georgy Tsetsadze, the “townspeople” have yet to win. Second, the Lviv club have conceded in 10 games in a row (22 goals in total). Third, Lviv has not won 13 rounds in a row. It should also be added here that Kolos does not draw 27 games (9 wins and 18 losses). If Kostyshin’s team wins, it will be their 10th home victory in the Premier League.
How will Minaya’s debut at UPL end?
Eventually, Minaj will make his Premier League debut, failing to play in the first round against Lvov and had to wait until mid-September for his debut. Serious opponent – “Alexandria”. It is clear that these teams have not met before, so they do not have a history of fighting. Vasily Kobin also makes his debut in this fight as the head coach of the UPL team. In the Ukrainian top league, he played for different teams, now he will try to prove himself as a coach.
It can be noted that “Alexandria” scores in 18 straight games (36 goals) and concedes in 10 (25 goals). Therefore, it makes sense to assume that the party will be productive.
Will Zorya break a losing streak at home?
Let me briefly recall the history of the rumors about Zorya and how Mariupol is connected to him. Former Azov club coach Alexander Babich is not that he should have done it, but he could have led the “Dawn”, although in the end this did not happen. Viktor Skripnik could have gone to Dnipro-1, but he remained at the Luhansk club. Babich did not stay at “Mariupol”, but now Ostap Markevich works there.
Be that as it may, both teams got off to a bad start in the new season: “Zorya” lost to “Desna” 1: 3, and “Mariupol” lost to “Alexandria” 1: 4. Now these teams will play each other. The last two meetings on the field “Zorya” “ended unsuccessfully for Lugansk: a draw and a loss. It was possible to beat Mariupol at home more than two years ago, in the summer of 2018. Now the Azov team has a new Head coach and it will be interesting to see if Markevich will be able to contain Zorya with the same success as Babich’s?
Will Vorskla become a threat to rookies?
Some teams have an unofficial nickname of “the threat of authority”: when the club takes points away from the greats of the local championship. “Vorskla” can become a threat for newcomers: in the first round, “Rukh” was defeated 5: 2, now there is a meeting with “Ingulets”, who played his first Premier League match in a draw. Judging from the quality of play demonstrated by the two clubs, I would call Vorskla the favorite. Still, “Ingulets” got his first point at UPL not without luck. Poltava may well remain the leader of the standings after the second round, if he beats Ingulets. What is not an incentive?
Previously, the Poltava and Petrovo teams did not play each other, so they have no fighting history.
