Mykhailo Kopolovets: "Dynamo was remembered for its high level of goal-scoring chances in the last match"

Mykhailo Kopolovets, a former footballer of Lviv's Karpaty and Zakarpattia's Minaya, shared his forecast for the matches of the 19th round of the Ukrainian championship taking place this weekend.

"Dynamo vs Chornomorets - 2: 1

- In the 18th round, both teams did not show a coherent impression, but even this did not prevent Kyiv from defeating Metalist 1925 and Odesa from losing to Obolon. Nevertheless, Dynamo were remembered for their high level of goal-scoring chances. In my opinion, they will do better in the match against Chornomorets with the aim.

"Minaj vs Metalist 1925 - 1:1

- Without exaggeration, a match where six points will be at stake. I really want the townspeople to stay in the elite, and to do that, they need to beat Kharkiv. A successful away game against Dnipro-1 should also give them a boost. However, Metalist 1925 has nowhere to retreat, as they are in the relegation zone. So, it will be interesting, but it will not be without signing a peace agreement, which will greatly please the competitors.

"Vorskla vs Veres 1: 0

- In the previous match against Zorya, the Poltava team were as good as their opponents even when playing in the minority. The disappointing defeat should give Vorskla's players a boost of sporting anger, help them to adjust properly and make up for lost time at home against Veres.

"Kolos - Rukh - 1: 1

- Both mid-table teams in the elite division could have expected more, but they still lack stability. They adhere to different tactical schemes, but this time, despite considerable efforts, the rivals will have to accept a draw.

"Obolon vs Dnipro-1 0: 2

- In the previous round, the Dnipro team clearly underestimated the Transcarpathians and paid the price by losing precious points. I'm sure they won't come out in Kyiv with a cap-throwing attitude. "Obolon is a tough nut to crack and can punish for that. However, thanks to a more balanced line-up, the guests will be able to tip the scales in their favour.

"Oleksandriya vs Zorya 1-0

- At the start of the second part of the season, the townspeople gave the champion Shakhtar a fight. After a long break, the home coaching staff can now count on their leading players, and this increases their chances of forcing the visitors to capitulate.

"Shakhtar vs Kryvbas 2-0

- The central match of the round is the cherry on top. The Pitmen disappointed in Oleksandriya, but they have enough experienced and skilled players who can pull together at the key moment and achieve the desired result. Shakhtar's victory will further intensify the fight for places on the podium.
