As part of the fourteenth round of the Ukrainian Premier League, Dynamo Kyiv will host SC Poltava in the capital.

DYNAMO KYIV — SK POLTAVA MONDAY, DECEMBER 1, 3:30 p.m. DYNAMO IM. V. LOBANOVSKY, KYIV. CHIEF ARBITRATOR — OLEKSIY DEREVINSKY (KYIV). LIVE ON UPL.TV Dynamo Kyiv begins a new era together with the title partner — GGBET. They are united by a common vision of a good game: skill, fan emotions and love for football matches. It is from this that the GG-experience is born, which the bookmaker brand strives to give to fans.

It happened. Oleksandr Shovkovskyi was fired from the position of head coach of Dynamo Kyiv in the middle of the week after the team lost to Cypriot Omonia in the UEFA Conference League (0:2) and put itself on the edge of the abyss in the European Cup competition. The risk of being left without a Euro-spring is now as close to reality as possible for the current champion of Ukraine.

But Dynamo has not yet appointed a new head coach – this will be decided in the near future, while currently the coach of the “white and blue” youth team, Ihor Kostiuk, will work with the team. At the U-19 level, his contribution to the development of the youth of the capital team is simply invaluable, and now he has a chance to try himself in working with “adult” players. However, if you look at that same Taras Mihavka, there should be painfully familiar faces for Kostyuk in the team that Shovkovsky left for him.

At the same time, it was not for nothing that Dynamo fired the coach at this time. Before the match in the championship against the absolute debutant of the “elite” championship, SK Poltava, the Kyivans should be ready even without a full-fledged helmsman at the helm. And even Kostyuk, with all due respect to all sides of the process, is not too necessary for the team, which is made up of professionals, to prepare for the game against the team from the last place in the standings, which until then also shares the laurels of the least productive team with Obolon, and has no equal in terms of the number of missed goals and goals.

The question is only in psychology. Dynamo has three defeats in a row in the championship, and in general, the unsuccessful streak is four lost matches out of five in all tournaments. Such a decline could not affect Shovkovskyi’s positions at the head of the team, and in the end it affected the way it should have under similar circumstances.

Meanwhile, the triumvirate of coaches at the head of Poltava, where it is still difficult to understand who exactly and for what processes in the team’s training should be responsible, is not at risk at all. And what can be demanded from a team with such modest resources? Poltava plays football that it can, or that its opponents allow it to play. Shakhtar, for example, did not allow anything – 1:7. LNZ was more modest — 0:2. But Kryvbas and Kolos allowed and got 2:2 each. Dynamo should also take this moment into account, as a coach-coach, but now it will not be possible to blame the “bad” coach – here the direct responsibility of the football players themselves comes.

The match between Dynamo and SK Poltava is coming soon. So, it’s time to choose your line! In this confrontation, GGBET experts favor “white-blue” with a coefficient of 1.05. And the victory of SC Poltava is estimated at 34.12. Turn on the match and hold your line with GGBET – the title partner of the “white and blue”!
