Miner – Obolon. Forecast and announcement for the match of the championship of Ukraine

On Monday, September 23, the 7th round of the Ukrainian Premier League will end with the match between Shakhtar and Obolona. As in the previous round, the Miners will host their opponents at Arena Lviv. So far in the standings of the championship, the Donetsk club is in an unusual seventh place, while the Kyiv team is at the bottom of the table and has so far scored only 2 points in 6 matches played.

Miner A week ago, “Arena-Lviv” turned out to be happy for “Shakhtar”, which played here the first match of the current season. Then the miners confidently beat “Karpaty” with a big score of 5:2. Three goals were scored by Artem Bondarenko, one each by Alexander Zubkov and Danyil Sykan. That meeting was a good rehearsal for the Miners before the start of the renewed Champions League, where they drew 0:0 with Bologna in the first round in Italy.

Shakhtar fans are probably pleased by the fact that the players who missed a lot of time due to injuries are gradually returning to the lineup. In particular, the already mentioned Alexander Zubkov, as well as the Brazilian Marlon took part in the game with the Italians. But, on the other hand, Efim Konoplya and Daniil Sykan were injured in the first half of the match against Bologna, and their participation in the game with the Brewers is still in question.

The Donetsk team was preparing for the upcoming match in Lviv. Maryno Pushych offered the wards fun football relays to relieve the players a little psychologically. The work continued with a series of ball-handling exercises in groups, and the main part was devoted to tactical exercises.

And more. In the match against Kyiv, the miners will have to do without Kevin, the attacking midfielder. For five matches in the new championship of Ukraine, the Brazilian has already managed to get four warnings. Therefore, he will watch the game of his partners from the stands of the Arena Lviv stadium.

Obolon The Kyiv club started the new season in the Premier League very poorly, suffering four defeats and one draw in the first five matches. This led to the resignation of Valery Ivashchenko, who coached this team for many years. And under the new coach Sergey Shishchenko, “Obolon” drew 0:0 with the leader of the championship “Alexandria”, which, by the way, had not lost any points before that match.

It is interesting that Shishchenko did not radically change the composition compared to his predecessor, but made a greater emphasis on defense. Thus, for the first time since the beginning of the season, defender Petr Stasyuk entered the field, and Oleg Slobodian and Maksym Grisyo appeared in the middle of the field, for whom these were the second matches in the current championship. But the place in goal is still occupied by Nazariy Fedorivskyi, while the much more experienced Alexander Rybka and Artem Kychak remain in the reserve.

If it was possible to achieve a positive result with the game in defense, everything is still quite bad in Obolona’s attack. Two goals in six matches is not a result at all. Of course, the fact that quite a scorer Igor Krasnopyr left the team in the off-season (by the way, he already scored 4 times in “Rukha” in this championship, and in the first round he scored against his former team). And so far there is no worthy replacement for him.

Match statistics At the level of the Premier League, the teams played only two matches. Both took place in the previous championship and both ended with the victory of Shakhtar. In the first round, the game also took place in Lviv and ended with a score of 1:0. The only goal was scored by Nazaryn. And in Kyiv, the miners won 3:0 (here two goals were scored by Shved and one by Sykan).

Indicative compositions: Shakhtar: Ryznyk, Tobias, Matvyenko, Franyich, Azarov, Stepanenko, Bondarenko, Eginaldu, Sudakov, Zubkov, Traore

“Obolon”: Fedorivskyi, Stasyuk, Karas, Pryimak, Medinsky, Grisio, Chernenko, Vytenchuk, Slobodian, Sukhanov, Bychek

Forecast for the confrontation: Considering that “Shakhtar” has the opportunity to rotate the squad without any special consequences, the miners are, of course, recognized as favorites. Moreover, in the last games of the championship, they began to show a good game. “Obolon” will try to close and, if possible, play on counterattacks. It is quite likely that the Kyiv team will even score a goal. But, most likely, Shakhtar will win confidently 3:1.
