Renowned Ukrainian journalist Artem Frankov has shared his prediction for the match of the 24th round of the Ukrainian championship between Poltava Vorskla and Dynamo Kyiv to take place tomorrow in Poltava.
- While the nation is baffled by the big rivalry between Dnipro 1 and Metalist (who has any doubts about the victory of the nominal hosts of Uzhhorod stadium?!), we scatter our brains about the really interesting and poorly predictable match in Poltava.
There was a powerful push from Vorskla, who after a 0-3 draw with Oleksandriya have had three straight wins, including over Metalist (three penalties beaten!). But the team broke their winning streak against Ruha (1-1 - as, by the way, did Dynamo quite recently). Something makes you doubt the chances of the Kyiv side, but...
You see, just now Oleksandr Shovkovskiy has taken over as head coach, albeit as acting coach. That should have shaken the team off, and in SaSho's debut game they, albeit in the last 20 minutes, nailed down the wretched Metalist 3-1. Roughly the same can be expected at the Butovskyi Stadium, which is situated between Kyiv and Kharkiv, but closer to the latter.
Of course, Viktor Skrypnyk with his Felipe and Seferi (and especially Denys Oliinyk, who at the time failed to win a place in the Dynamo squad) has the right to disagree with my predictions, but my bet is: a Dynamo victory," said Frankov.
