The teams have met nine times within the framework of the Ukrainian championship and once in the cup.
Before the game, let’s take a look at who from both teams’ active players are the top scorers in their encounters.
Currently, there are no players in Rukh’s roster who have scored against Dynamo in past matches between the rivals. There are also none who have scored against Kyiv in previous clubs.
Dynamo, in ten matches against Rukh, has scored 18 goals. At the same time, there is no distinctly defined top scorer in the lineup of Kyiv in the rivalry with the "yellow-blacks." Vitaliy BUYALSKY scored three goals against Rukh, while two goals were scored by Oleksandr KARAVAYEV, Oleksandr TIMCHIK, and Vladyslav VANAT. One accurate shot each was made by Vladyslav KABAYEV and Oleksandr PIHALYONOK (in the Ukrainian Cup).
