Alexandria – Kudrovka. Forecast and announcement for the match of the championship of Ukraine

On Friday, December 12, the match of the 16th round of the Ukrainian Premier League between the teams “Olexandria” and “Kudrovka” will take place. The match will be held in Oleksandria on the field of KSC “Nika” stadium and will start at 15:30.

Alexandria “Olexandria” was again defeated in the previous round of the championship and continues to be one of the main contenders for relegation to the First League. The defeat by “Kryvbas” (0:3) left the team in 15th place, and it is already 4 points away from the playoff zone, and there is no question of 12th place at all. Considering how hard it is for Alexandria to pick up points in the first half of the league, the team will have to put in a huge effort in the following matches to secure a direct spot for next season.

The team has not known victories for more than two months, and in the last 8 rounds they have won only 3 points. In such a situation, questions about the future of the head coach Kyryl Nesterenko sound particularly acute. For him, the match with “Kudrivka” is actually the last chance to convince the management to keep him for the second part of the season. Any negative result will almost certainly lead to a change of mentor.

For “Alexandria” it is also an opportunity to take revenge for the defeat in the first round. Then it seemed that “Kudrivka” created a sensation, beating the current silver medalist of the championship. But already before the winter break, both teams approach on equal terms – in a fierce fight for survival

Curl Not long ago, “Kudrivka” was confidently located in the middle of the tournament table, and it was separated by five points from the zone of contact matches. But in the last four rounds, the team could not score a single point, unlike its competitors, primarily “Rukh” and “Epicenter”, which steadily added points to the table. As a result, “Kudrivka” dropped to 13th place, and the struggle for survival came to the fore. In the last round, the team tried to make a comeback in the match against Dynamo Kyiv. Despite the fact that the Kyivans were leading 2:0 and looked stronger during the game, the hosts managed to get one goal back and even had a chance for one point. However, in the end of the match, it was not possible to realize the moments.

Four defeats in a row, one of which is a fundamental match against “Rukh” for the preservation of registration in the league (2:4), create additional pressure on the players. And ahead is a difficult away match with “Alexandria”. “Kudrivka” traditionally does not score points on the road – it seems that there is a real “curse”. But now the team has one last chance in 2025 to snap that streak and go into the break in good spirits. In addition, “Kudrivka” already beat “Alexandria” in the first round, when few believed in it. The fighting spirit and passion that the team showed then will be very much needed in the last match of the year, because every point will be worth its weight in gold.

Statistics of meetings The teams met each other only once in the framework of the Ukrainian Premier League — it happened in the first round of this championship. In August, “Kudrivka” celebrated a confident victory over “Alexandria” with a score of 3:1 at the “Obolon Arena” stadium. Andriy Storchous scored a double, Yevhen Morozko scored another goal, and the only goal of “Alexandria” in the match was an own goal by Anton Yashkov from “Kudrivka”. The match was also remembered for two expulsions of the guests: Kyrylo Kovalets and Miguel Campos left the field early.

Forecast for the confrontation For the teams, it will be an important battle for points, in which no one will want to concede. Caution and accuracy will be the key components of this confrontation, so it is not excluded that another zeros await us in the UPL. Kudrivka players still have a chance to break their away curse before the winter break in this important match, and the team has all the prerequisites for that. The last meetings show that the team is fighting until the last minutes, but something is always missing to consistently score points.

Estimated compositions “Alexandria”: Dolgii, Wuhan, Bol, Campos, Skorko, Fernando, Buletsa, Mishnev, Tsara, Jota, Castillo.

“Kudrivka”: Yashkov, Melnychuk, Mamrosenko, Serdyuk, Macheliuk, Storchous, Dumanyuk, Nagnoiny, Morozko, Ovusu, Kozak.
