Former Ukrainian national team striker Ivan Getsko shared his forecast for the central match of the 21st round of the Ukrainian championship, which Dnipro-1 and Zorya Luhansk will play today.
"Dnipro club is in a better position in terms of points scored. However, I am sure that Zorya will put up a fight, as the Luhansk team understands all the responsibilities of this game.
In the spring, Kucher's team won 67% of the points, and this is clearly not a championship schedule. Dnipro-1's team class has not yet reached the level of Shakhtar's.
Dnipro have created competition for Shakhtar and Dynamo. I think they will make every effort not to let the Shakhtarians go, but it will be very difficult for them to do so.
For Zorya, I think the most important goal is to be among the winners, and if they are also ahead of Dynamo Kyiv, we all understand what it will mean for Zorya and all Ukrainian football.
The significance of this game is enormous for both teams - no one will want to lose. The teams will try their luck at each other's goal, so I don't rule out a lot of goals being scored. I would like to see Dnipro-1 win, because otherwise Shakhtar will feel even more confident in the first place. However, something tells me that this game will be a draw with a lot of goals. I'm betting on 2-2," said Getsko.
