Kryvbas This year, Kryvbas does not look like a monolithic team like last season. There was a certain confidence and strength in that team that is lacking in the current campaign. Perhaps the perception is affected by the early exit from the European Cups, in which “Kryvbas” did not show itself from the best side.
Or maybe the personnel situation had an effect – the main center back Beskorovainy moved to “Polyssia” (where he immediately received a serious injury), due to personal circumstances, defender Ilyich was absent from the team’s lineup (although he recently joined the team, but is unlikely to be ready to play right away). another central defender Stetskov fell out with management over his desire to move to another club and was suspended from first team training, forward Prince Adu was sold. Before that, the main asset of the Dibango team was seriously injured, but it happened almost a few days ago.
Yuriy Vernydub did not appreciate the summer newcomers too well, saying that only Romanchuk and Drambaev played normally. Of course, they came in handy – the first plays stably, and the second is a lifeline, plugging all the holes in the team and coming out not on the flank of attack or defense, but in the center of defense, but it is unlikely that other performers were happy about such an assessment of their abilities. One of the newcomers, Oche Ochovechi, has already left the team, going to the Azerbaijani “Gabala”.
At the same time, the results have not deteriorated too much – only one defeat in five matches with one draw and three victories allow them to stay in the group of leaders. And, of course, the game with Shakhtar, which was not finished due to air alarm due to the shelling of the northeastern neighbor misunderstanding, is kept in the head, which will be finished who knows when.
Vorskla “Vorskla” is unlikely to seriously think about relegation, but the team is unlikely to win European Cups either. At least two draws, wins and losses in six matches and a goal difference of 7-9 are hardly indicators of a team with serious ambitions, so “Vorsklian” are in the quagmire of the middle of the tournament table.
The already usual not very good personnel situation of the Poltava team worsened before the reported match. Experienced defender Sklyar received his next red card in his career and will not help the team against Kryvbas, and another player in the center of the field, Yevhen Pavlyuk, was injured and will not play either.
In the middle of the week, “Vorskla” played a postponed match of the 5th round against “Dynamo”, lost 1:3 and suffered another personnel loss – the center back Gucek left the field with a bloody face, who knows if he will make it against “Kryvbas”.
Also, that game was remembered for the terrible turf, which is hardly worthy of UPL teams playing on it (although this long-suffering UPL did not see, what only puddles and, figuratively, gardens were not kneaded by football players at different times), as well as Pavel’s blunder Isenka, who once held great hopes, but now has somehow faded away.
Match statistics A total of 43 matches were played: +18=13-12, goal difference 52-44 in favor of Kryvbas.
Estimated compositions: “Kryvbas”: Klischuk – Bandeira, Romanchuk, Drambaev, Kuzyk – Bizimana, Vakulko – Jean Poe, Lunyov, Mykytyshyn – Sosa
“Vorskla”: Isenko – Perduta, Chornomorets, Khrypchuk, Krupsky – Chelyadin, Kulakovsky, Chernysh – Myakushko, Iede, Kane
Forecast for the confrontation: Kryvyi Rih do not look as confident as last season, but should still take their three points.
