Head coach of Kharkiv Metalist 1925 Viktor Skrypnyk assessed the prospects of his team to keep their place in the UPL at the end of the current championship. Four rounds before the end of the Ukrainian championship Kharkiv team shares the last place in the standings with "Minay" (both teams have 19 points). Metalist 1925" is separated from the zone of transition matches by one point.
"We still have four matches to play. Three of them are home. This is our trump card, which we must use. So everything is still in our hands, we will try.
As long as there are mathematical chances to retain a place in the UPL, as long as there are matches and points that we can earn in these fights, it is necessary to dream positively. Especially, those opponents who will play against us are, I hope, not of the same class as Kryvbas, with whom we met in the last round. But we need to be more aggressive in working against the ball", - the official Metalist 1925 website quotes Skrypnyk.
