Former Ukraine midfielder Oleh Shelayev shared with Komanda1 with his forecast for the matches of the 22nd round of the Ukrainian championship.
Oleg Shelayev"Dynamo" - "Shakhtar - 1:2
This is a Ukrainian classic and that says it all. Perhaps it has lost its luster compared to previous years due to the lack of great legionnaires, the situation in the country... However, there is a confrontation between the clubs. And even in such teams, everyone will be motivated to the maximum. It's hard to say how much Dynamo are affected by the rumors of Mircea Lucescu's dismissal, but the Pitmen are now superior to Kyiv in terms of the quality of their game, so I'm betting on Shakhtar to win.
"Kolos" - "Zorya - 1:2
Given the recent matches, Zorya look better, so I'm betting on a one-goal victory for the visitors. Moreover, the motivation of the Luhansk team should be higher...
"Vorskla - "Metalist - 1:0
It's not that Vorskla is a stable team, but it has players who can decide the fate of a match on their own. "Metalist is not the same team we knew.
"Veres" - "Minaj" - 1:1
Given the tightness at the bottom of the standings, we're going to have a lot of head-to-head matches for survival. This is one of those that will have more emotions than the football itself. So I'm betting on a productive draw.
"Lviv" - "Metalist 1925 - 1:1
Currently, in every round of the UPL there are pairs where it is extremely difficult to determine a favorite or predict the outcome of the match. So in the Lviv vs Metalist 1925 match, you can bet on three possible outcomes. Both teams need a victory, but I will hazard a guess that there will be a 1-1 draw.
"Kryvbas" - "Chornomorets - 2:1
"Kryvbas is trying hard to get closer to the fifth place, which gives them the opportunity to qualify for European competitions. Therefore, I think that the hosts should win, although Chornomorets sometimes shows meaningful football after the winter break.
"Dnipro-1" - "Rukh - 2:0
One of the pairs in which the favorite is clearly visible. There is not much to say here. Dnipro-1 will win.
"Oleksandriya vs. - "Ingulets - 2:1
Despite the fact that Oleksandriya drew many times after the winter break, the team under Ruslan Rotan is changing for the better with each round. There are no longer many passes in their own half of the field, and Oleksandriya are adapting well to the opponent's game. Yes, it is to Ingulets' advantage to use a lot of struggle and long passes, but the hosts have a higher class of performers and this will determine the outcome of the match.
