Former Shakhtar forward Andriy Vorobei predicted the development of events in the Ukrainian championship in spring 2025.
— Of course, I want Oleksandriya to be the third force in the UPL. But it seems to me that the first matches will show in what form Dynamo and Shakhtar are. I think that the Kyiv and Donetsk teams will start to pull away from their pursuers. I believe Shakhtar has some advantage over Oleksandriya in this regard," Vorobei said.
