Alexandria After the last season, “Alexandria” lost its position sharply. If then Ruslan Rotan’s team managed to take the historic second place, then this season the team is fighting for survival.

Of course, the personnel situation was to blame. Ruslan Rotan and a number of football players – Kravchenko, Shepelev, Filippov – left the team just to “Polyssia”. It was not possible to replace them equally. Yes, many players left for other clubs, so a new team is actually being built, which needs playing time and time. Competence is a profitable business, but there may not be enough time, because “Alexandria” is already two points away from the relegation zone.

This is not surprising, because in order for the quality of the game not to deteriorate with such losses, it must be “Bournemouth”. And since “polygraphs” are clearly not “cherries”, the results are also appropriate.

Teddy Tsara looks like a bright spot, if it weren’t for his goal-scoring actions, or the fact that “Alexandria” wouldn’t be at the bottom of the table at all. The team has problems in all lines, but the lack of a qualified forward is especially felt, since there is no one to play in this position, Kyrylo Nesterenko tries Castillo, then Kulakova, and the effectiveness of both is practically zero.

It’s not easy in defense either, sometimes Kampush, then Beiratche, then Ogarkov are relegated from time to time, in a word, there is no stability.

Forested “Polyssya” has stable financing, which in our reality is a solid foundation for building a strong team. It remains to choose a quality coach and wait for the result.

It seems that Gennadiy Butkevich is gradually coping with this task. After long attempts to find the right coach, the choice of the club owner stopped at Ruslanov Rotan, and he seems to justify the advances (now Polissia is fourth, more precisely, it shares the second to fifth place with Dynamo, LNZ and Kryvbas) with four points behind the leader Shakhtar. After all, Ruslan Petrovych selects football players for his schemes precisely and quite successfully. For example, Shepelev came and played immediately, the same can be said about Bragar, who was rented from Dynamo, and Veletny, who was bought from Kolos. The latter two generally displaced Nazarenko and Hutsuliak from the base of the national team, but for some reason it was Hutsuliak who was called to the ranks of the national team, and Veleten only made it to the reserve list.

Goalkeeper Yevhen Volynets was also called up to the national team. Although there is some justice here for “Polyssia”, because Yevgeny wins the competition from the loaned Giorgiy Bushchan (there are still questions about this transfer), but for some reason it was Bushchan who was called up to the national team for the past matches.

The participation of the injured Kravchenko in the match is questionable, he can be replaced by Krushynskyi, who is a versatile player and a kind of plug for problematic positions.

Meeting history A total of 22 matches were played in the championship between the teams: +10=7-5, goal difference 31:23. In the UPL, the teams met only in the last two draws, “Alexandria” won three times and “Polyssia” won once.

Estimated compositions “Alexandria”: Dolgiy – Skorko, Beiratche, Kampusch, Ndika – Fernando, Mishnev – Kozak, Buletsa, Tsara – Castillo

“Polissya”: Volynets – Mykhailichenko, Sarapii, Chobotenko, Krushynskyi – Babenko, Andrievskyi – Bragaru, Shepelev, Veleten – Filippov

Forecast for the confrontation Without a doubt, “Alexandria” will be extremely motivated, but still, the players of “Polyssia” are of a higher class and should win.
