Miner – Obolon. Forecast and announcement for the match of the championship of Ukraine

On Monday, September 23, the 7th round of the Ukrainian Premier League will end with the match between Shakhtar and Obolon. As in the previous round, the Miners will host their rivals at Arena Lviv. So far, in the league standings, the Donetsk club is in an unusual seventh place, and the Kyivans are in the lowest place and have so far scored only 2 points in 6 matches played.

Miner A week ago, “Arena-Lviv” turned out to be happy for “Shakhtar”, which played here the first match of this season. Then the miners very confidently beat “Karpaty” with a score of 5:2. Three goals were scored by Artem Bondarenko, one each by Oleksandr Zubkov and Danylo Sikan. That meeting was a good rehearsal for the miners before the start in the renewed Champions League, where they drew 0-0 with Bologna in the first round in Italy.

Shakhtar fans are probably pleased by the fact that players who have missed a lot of time due to injuries are gradually returning to form. In particular, the already mentioned Oleksandr Zubkov, as well as the Brazilian Marlon took part in the game with the Italians. But, on the other hand, Yukhim Konoplia and Danilo Sikan were injured in the match against Bologna in the first half, and their participation in the game with the brewers is still in question.

The Donetsk team was preparing for the upcoming match in Lviv. Marino Pushych offered the wards fun football relays to relieve the players a little psychologically. Then the work continued with a series of ball-keeping exercises in groups, and the main part was devoted to tactical training.

And more. In the match against Kyiv, the miners will have to do without attacking midfielder Kevin. For five matches played in the new championship of Ukraine, the Brazilian already managed to receive four warnings. Therefore, he will watch the game of his partners from the stands of Arena Lviv stadium.

Obolon The Kyiv club had a very bad start to the new season in the Premier League, suffering four defeats and one draw in the first five matches. This caused the resignation of Valery Ivashchenko, who coached this team for many years. And already under the new mentor Serhiy Shishchenko, Obolon drew 0:0 with the championship leader Oleksandria, which, by the way, did not lose any points at all before that match.

It is interesting that Shishchenko did not radically change the composition, compared to his predecessor, but placed more emphasis on defense. Thus, for the first time since the beginning of the season, defender Petro Stasyuk entered the field at the base, and Oleg Slobodian and Maksym Grisio appeared in the middle of the field, for whom these were the second matches in the current championship. But the place in goal is still occupied by Nazariy Fedorivskyi, while the much more experienced Oleksandr Rybka and Artem Kichak remain in the reserve.

If it was possible to achieve a positive result with the game in defense, then in the attack in “Obolon” everything is quite bad so far. Two goals in six matches is not a result at all. Of course, the fact that quite a scorer Ihor Krasnopir left the team in the off-season (by the way, he already scored 4 times in the new club “Rukh” in this championship, and in the first round hit the goal of his former team). And so far there is no worthy replacement for him.

Match statistics At the level of the Premier League, the teams played only two matches. Both took place in the previous championship and both ended with Shakhtar’s victory. In the first round, the game also took place in Lviv and ended with a score of 1:0. Nazarin scored the only goal. And in Kyiv, the miners won 3:0 (two goals were scored by Shved and one by Sikan).

Estimated compositions: “Miner”: Riznyk, Tobias, Matvienko, Franyich, Azarov, Stepanenko, Bondarenko, Eginaldu, Sudakov, Zubkov, Traore

“Obolon”: Fedorivskyi, Stasyuk, Karas, Pryimak, Medynskyi, Grisio, Chernenko, Vitenchuk, Slobodian, Sukhanov, Bychek

Forecast for the confrontation: Taking into account the fact that Shakhtar has the opportunity to rotate the team without any special consequences, the Miners are, of course, the favorites. Especially since in the last games of the championship they started to show a good game. “Obolon” will try to close and, if possible, play on counterattacks. It is likely that the Kyivans will even score a goal. But it is most likely that “Shakhtar” will win confidently 3:1.
