Famous Ukrainian journalist Artem Frankov has told what he expects from the match of the 11th round of the Ukrainian championship Dynamo vs Dnipro-1, which will take place today in the capital.
Artem Frankov- The history of confrontation between Kyiv Dynamo and its star of the 90s Yuriy Maksimov (the current head coach of Dnipro-1 - ed.) is a completely separate and much richer chapter or even a tale than the history of meetings between Dynamo and Dnipro-1, "legally another club". "Borisfen" (still as a player), CSKA, "Kryvbas", "Vorskla"... And here is "Dnipro-1" - if not a club, then a city quite native, as Yuriy Vilievich successfully played for "Dnipro" in 1992-94.
I mean that Dynamo are not going to have an easy life at all, and with Maksimov at the head of an already difficult opponent - doubly so. So far, the teams are placed in the standings next to each other: 6. Dynamo - 15 points after 7 matches, 7. Dnipro-1 - 15 points after 8 matches. Besides, Dnipro approach the match after three consecutive "dry" victories over "Zorya", "Metalist 1925", and "Dynamo" - after the epic defeat to "Polesie" (2:3). Perhaps these considerations do not mean anything, because a lot of time has passed since then - a pause for national teams, which involved quite a few players from both teams, however....
We should expect that Dynamo's scythe of "don't score less than two, don't concede less than two" will find its way to Dnipro's Maksimov stone - there even one conceded goal is equated to a disaster. Well, or looks like it: Dnipro-1's dry streak has already lasted 299 minutes - the last one to hit its goal was Salabay from Kolos," Frankov said.
