Famous Ukrainian football journalist Artur Valerko has named the favorites for the 2024/2025 season in the Ukrainian championship, which has already started.
- The obvious favorite of the season is Shakhtar, which (so far?) has not sold any of its top players. Because without Matvienko, Sudakov, Riznyk and several other players, it will be a completely different team. However, the Miners have a lot of legionnaires who may need more time to adapt to football and life. Nowadays, this is a risk factor.
"Dynamo has strengthened for the first time in a long time, but after a bright spring stretch, the team should be watched for another six months to understand the extent of changes and progress of the team and each individual. "Other clubs have not yet grown so much (and the giants have not degraded so much) that the intrigue for gold has grown to three or four contenders," Valerko believes.
