“Pragmatism of the Miners and the failure of the Kryvorizhians”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
Miner On the second part of the season, the Donetsk team has a difficult task: to eliminate the eyegrowth from Dynamo and win the race for the championship. And so far, the Miners are going according to the plan – two victories after the UPL recovery, including one of the competitors (Alexandria), and the loss of points by the leader of the championship, which allowed Shakhtar to approach the first place.
If we talk about the quality of playing Pushich’s wards, the first place is the result. You can criticize “orange-black” for pragmatism as much as you like, but the team wins and this is a major factor. The first half of the match with Alexandria did not herald a confident Victoria for the Miners, because they did not strike at the rivals gates before the break. And in the second half of the meeting, Georgy Sudakov demonstrated his leadership qualities, who recovered after damage. It was his double that determined the result of the duel, and it is not surprising that Sudakov was recognized as the best player of the last round of UPL.
Shakhtar holds a win -win home series in a championship, which has ten matches (9 wins and 1 draw). At the same time, in home duels, the Miners invariably impress the gates of rivals for the same ten meetings (33 goals).
Kryvbas The Kryvyi Rih team probably became a major disappointment in the results of two rounds after a winter pause. Still, because the team of Yuri Vernidub, with a devastating account, lost Heather and gave way to the main outsider of the Ingulka Championship at the moment. In the Kryvbas standings, which fights for the European Cup zone, continues to occupy the Fourth City, but the competitor’s misfires allowed Polissya to catch up with the Kryvyi Rih team.
At the end of last year, the White-Chervoni issued a four-novel victory series, so fans of Kryvbas were hardly awaiting such results from their team. And in confrontation with Shakhtar, who does not intend to lose points, it will be difficult for Kryvorizhians to be rehabilitated. However, they will undoubtedly do their best. “Everyone knows that Shakhtar is a complex rival. We believe in ourselves and make every effort to select points from them, ”Daniel Sosa said.
In the future, the fight will be able to play the defender of Bandear, who was disqualified in the past meeting. It is also ready to make its debut as a Nigerian midfielder in the Kryvyi Rih team. Shakhtar’s match will be 400th in UPL for Yuri Vernidub as a player and coach. In addition, Kryvbas can score the 100th goal in UPL when Vernidub (another ball).
Meeting statistics The teams conducted 53 eye duels, with 37 victories on Shakhtar’s account, 6 – Kryvbas. In the first round, the opponents were unable to finish the match, which was interrupted in the 51st minute at the expense of 1-0 in favor of the Miners. Taras Stepanenko was caused by a single productive blow to the unique match. And the last championship in Kryvyi Rih teams played an effective draw with a score of 3: 3, and in Lviv “Orange-Black” beat the Kryvorizhians-5: 2.
Prognosis for confrontation Despite the sub -resulting confrontation of rivals in the last championship, we are unlikely to see the same in the upcoming meeting. A positive result is very important for rivals. Shakhtar is pursuing Dynamo and cannot allow the loss of points, and Kryvbas needs to be rehabilitated for unsuccessful results. Therefore, we predict in this match a total of heads less than 2.5.
