Famous Ukrainian journalist Artem Frankov shared his forecast for the match of the final, 30th matchday of the Ukrainian championship between the Lviv "Rukh" and "Aleksandria", which will be held tomorrow in Lviv.
Artem Frankov"This is a clash! Both teams need a win - Oleksandriia risk losing their place in the European competitions, which they have long considered as theirs, Rukh - falling in the playoffs with LNZ or Metalurh, and then who knows what to expect from these guys from the first league.
Of course, Ruslan Rotan's side have the higher class, although, despite their much higher place in the table, on Matchday 15 Alexandriya failed to beat Kozlovskih (1-1) - characteristically, both teams had other coaches at the time (Gura and Kuchuk).
It is clear that to guarantee fifth place and the Conference League, Rotan's side need a win - including in the light of Serhiy Rebrov's announced return to the Ukrainian capital. A draw might be enough - just as, incidentally, for our opponents. How seriously do the Aleksy side aspire to Europe? It is hard to say. Many clubs in our league are mysterious, their motivation is equally vague... I do not rule out the option that the teams will listen to messages from other arenas.
The 'presidential' Kryvbas could also jump out of an ambush there. Although they have already beaten Dnipro 1 in the first round - that's probably enough," Frankov said.
