The well-known Ukrainian journalist Artem Frankov told what he expects from the central match of the 18th round of the Ukrainian championship, in which today in Kyiv will play "Dynamo" and Luhansk "Zoria".
"Bookmakers again consider "Dynamo" the clear favorite of the match - the separate failures and sluggish game of Kyiv has no effect on them, they say they are about to break through, and the opponents have it even worse.
Also, no one is in a hurry to take into account the fact that at the beginning of the championship and the first round Dynamo was defeated by Zorya - 3:2. Well, let's check it out - of course, Mircea Lucescu's team did not show and create any masterpieces against Dnipro 1, but they got a result, and also fought hard. And that's the bread!
Let me remind you that in the standings after 17 rounds Zoria is a point ahead of Dynamo and comes third, scoring, which is typical, one and a half times more than Kyiv team - 38 goals against 25! After the championship resumption Patrick van Leeuwen's team won the supervolitional victory over Vorskla - 3:2 and confidently defeated Lviv - 3:1, and two goals were scored by former Dynamo players - Nazary Rusin and Sergiy Buletsa. Six goals in two matches - but the scythe... Will it find a Dynamo stone?
My bet: the victory of Dynamo and more than two goals will be scored in the match ("Zoria" must score!)", - said Frankov.
