On the eve of the start of the Ukrainian championship in the 2024/2025 season, former Ukrainian national team player Oleh Shelayev spoke about the prospects of the newcomer to the UPL, Lviv's Karpaty.
- "For me, Karpaty are a black cat in a dark room. It seems that no one knows what to expect from them, not even they themselves. They will try to get a taste of the opposition that exists at the Premier League level. In general, I think they have their sights set on the future, so they will approach everything gradually and develop in this way. In the standings, I assume they will be in the middle, maybe a little higher," Shelayev told UPL TV.
