After the matches of the penultimate, 7th round of the championship group of the current season were played last weekend, there is a bit more clarity in the fight for promotion to the UPL.

Let us remind you that the first to secure the right to be promoted based on the results of the current season was Epitsentr from Kamianets-Podilskyi.
Three teams are contending for the second direct spot in the UPL: “Poltava,” “Kudrivka,” and Kharkiv’s “Metalist 1925.”
If we talk about contenders for participating in the playoffs for entry to the UPL (places 4 and 5), then we need to add “Agrobiznes” from Volochysk to the aforementioned trio.
