Famous journalist Artem Frankov sharing his prediction for today's match of the 6th round of the Ukrainian championship between Zhytomyr "Polesie" and Kyiv "Obolon", praised the potential of the hosts of the field.
Artem Frankov"A meeting of two UPL newcomers - absolute and relative, so to speak. Last season these teams fought hard in the first league (for the first place!) and here is a meeting at a new level.
Zhytomyr team is the favourite not so much because of recent results (3:0 away 3:0 Polesya vs Oleksandriya vs 0:0 home 0:0 Obolon vs Kryvbas), but because of the general position of the clubs - both in the table and financially. By the latter criterion, by the way, Yuriy Kalitvintsev's team may well qualify for at least the European Cup - while Obolon, unfortunately, cannot compete on this parameter.
Another issue is that in any case, Kyiv were and remain a very serious and toothy rival, despite any money," Frankov said.
