On the upcoming game day, it is worth noting, probably, three matches. In the last championship, Metalist 1925 coach Mladen Bartulovich led Zorya, and Luhansk coach Viktor Skrypnyk led the Kharkiv team. The game in Oleksandria, where Ruslan Rotan with “Polyssy” will play for the first time against his former team, with which he won the silver medals of the championship last season, can be no less fundamental. Well, the central match of the tour will undoubtedly take place in Kyiv. Dynamo and LNZ, the second and third teams in the standings, will meet there.
About all matches of the site tour Sport.ua a well-known domestic mentor told exclusively Oleksandr Babych.
07.11.25 “Epicenter” – “Obolon” – 15:30
“I am sure that Serhiy Nagornyak’s wards will make every effort to win their first championship victory on their home field. The fans, as they say, waited. However, Obolon has its own plans. Kyiv earned most of their points by playing on the road. Therefore, in this meeting, I think, there will be a productive draw.”
“Kudrovka” – “Colossus” – 18:00
“Vasyl Baranov’s team can definitely be called the opening of the championship. However, in the selection of performers, “Colossus” surpasses its opponent. The chances of a positive result are greater for the guests, who have nowhere to retreat, because at the beginning of the season they received many favorable reviews from the experts. But with the departure of Veletny, who created a lot of sharpness near the opponent’s goal, and the loss of reliability in defense, the results noticeably worsened.
08.11.25 “Metalist 1925” – “Zorya” – 13:00
“A match with a subtext. Mladen Bartulovich worked at Zora, and Viktor Skrypnyk at Metalist 1925. Both teams are showing interesting football, so I want to see a lot of goal-scoring actions. Both teams need to win if they want to achieve their lofty goals. I assume that a lot of goals will be scored in this match.”
“Veres” – “Rukh” – 15:30
“The Rivne team is an unequivocal favorite in this confrontation. And although the Lviv residents desperately need points, they will postpone these plans for another match.”
“Karpaty” – “Kryvbas” – 18:00
“Both clubs have serious ambitions. Therefore, an exciting match awaits us. “Carpathians” still cannot fully find their game, or rather, the result, although the victory over the strong LNZ should help the Lviv residents psychologically. At the same time, “Kryvbas” cannot lose points in order to remain among the leaders. Given the fact that many goals are scored in matches involving these teams, I will bet on a productive draw – 2:2.”
09.11.25 “Alexandria” – “Polyssia” – 13:00
“This is also to a certain extent a principled match, because last season Ruslan Rotan led “Olexandria”, for which now every match is like the final, because they are already four points away from the saving place of Kirill Nesterenko’s wards. “Polissya” has great ambitions, they have the best selection of football players. In addition, Zhytomyr residents have already found their game and result. Here I bet on the guests.
“Dynamo” – LNZ – 15:30
“Who would have guessed before the start of the season that this could be the central match of the tour. But the fact remains the fact. Little by little, the Cherkasy team rose to the top and has been among the leaders for a long time.
I am sure that the team’s mood will not be affected by the home defeat against “Karpat” in the last round. LNZ demonstrates a reliable game in defense, which is evidenced by the number of missed goals. Vitaliy Ponomarev’s team runs well in counterattacks, and this was shown in the match against Shakhtar.
“Dynamo” will be difficult, because in the middle of the week they had a European Cup match. At the same time, if the people of Kyiv reveal themselves, problems may arise. The defenders of the “white and blue” do not always keep the balance correctly, making mistakes when switching from attack to defense.
However, Dynamo players will take into account the mistakes of the “miners” and will, in my opinion, act with maximum concentration, which will allow Oleksandr Shovkovskyi’s team to win. Score? There will not be many heads. I even think that the fate of the match will be decided by one scored ball. 1:0″.
“Shakhtar” – “Poltava” – 18:00
“Shakhtar is the unequivocal favorite here. Suffice it to say that the first and last teams in the standings will meet. I don’t think that the Miners will underestimate their opponent, so their two-goal win will be a good result for the Poltava players.”
