The well-known journalist and editor-in-chief of Football magazine Artem Frankov has prepared a forecast for Friday's Ukrainian championship match between Polissya and Dynamo.
Artem Frankov- An exciting confrontation. As you can imagine, it's not about geographical proximity or some important relationship that has never existed. Yuriy Kalitvintsev is against Dynamo, the club that made the fate of this most talented player and coach in Ukraine. Only now he will do everything to prove that the UPL newcomer is right to be at the top of the standings and that his team is famous not only for its financial stability, but also for its game. Moreover, the Polissia squad is full of former Dynamo players who have something to prove to the White and Blues. Boyko, Shabanov, Chobotenko, Yanakov; Morozko also started at Dynamo's school under Khmelnytsky and Rudakov...
Dynamo had a different story. The cup failure against Obolon, in theory, changed little for the team - it's just that they now have not only European Cups, but another rather difficult tournament. Mircea Lucescu's team has finally focused on the task of winning the championship, and, in general, everything is in Dynamo's hands.
Currently, Polissia is formally ahead of Dynamo - 4th place and 16 points against 5th place and 15 points - but Kyiv has three games in hand, making them potential leaders of the UPL. Especially against the backdrop of their rivals' failures. However, Lucescu's team has no right to misfire. What will "Grandfather" do to solve his team's chronic defensive problems? Oh, I don't know... In the meantime, the 4-2 scoreline has become Dynamo's trademark - it has already won three league matches (Obolon, LNZ, Oleksandriya) with it! "Some even offer it as an eternal bet - sooner or later it will work," said Frankov.
