Vitaliy Volochay, the commentator of Suspilny, MEGOGO and Setanta, gave a prediction on the final standings of the Ukrainian championship for the season 20223/24.
Vitaliy Volochay"I have no questions about the championship, and there is probably no point in explaining why Shakhtar. As for Dynamo, the team has strengthened a lot. Shaparenko and Brazhko are really three steps forward compared to last year. Plus, we should not underestimate Yarmolenko's playing qualities. In the UPL he will be able, and I am sure he will produce very good matches. The only problem of Dynamo - the defensive centre - is still unsolved, but it is not as big as strengthening the attack.
I put Dnipro-1 in third place, because the team, in my opinion, had the best offseason in terms of player signings inside the UPL.
Next is the toughest. Because "Zorya" became many times weaker, "Kryvbas" sort of stayed as it is, strengthened a little, "Polesie" is a dark forest, and how this team will play is simply impossible to guess, so in this trio I put "Zarya" a little higher, and "Kryvbas" in the European Cup zone.
Regarding the bottom of the standings, it seems to be more or less obvious, the weakest in the composition of Metalist 1925, Obolon and Minai, and therefore between them will be a fight for survival and for the transition matches. I bet that Kharkiv-Left Bank club will be saved again", - said Volochay.
