Serhiy Kravchenko vs Serhiy RYBALKA
Supporting midfielder Serhiy Kravchenko, who used to play for Dynamo, made his debut for Dnipro on February 28 2010. This is his 6th season with the team (one year on loan at FC Volyn Lutsk). Experienced 33-year-old Kravchenko has good vision of the game, but age limits his speed.
Rybalka lacks balance in his play just like the whole Dynamo team this season. The forthcoming game against Dnipro is another opportunity for him and his teammates to find another level of mutual understanding.
Ruslan Rotan vs Serhiy SYDORCHUK
On October 29 Dnipro captain turned 35. Ruslan also used to feature for Dynamo, but in 2008 returned to his native club. Today he’s already a legend. No one in our county uses set pieces more effectively than Rotan, who gets regular call-ups to Ukraine national team. He hit the target in recent 2018 World Cup qualifier against Kosovo.
Not always do fans notice great amount of work Serhiy Sydorchuk fulfills on the field. If he makes his play more effective he’ll enforce Dynamo a lot. The pass to Derlis Gonzalez in recent Champions League game against Benfica, after which goalkeeper fouled inside the box, is what the White-Blues need today.
Anderson Pico vs Viktor TSYHANKOV
The most spectacular duel of the forthcoming game will probably be the opposition of Dnipro 27-year-old Brazilian Anderson Pico and 18-year-old Kyivan Viktor Tsyhankov.
Both are capable of real football improvisation that gladdens fans and can decide the match for their teams.
Pico is more predictable than young Dynamo talent, but on the other hand he’s stronger which makes their chances equal.
