Dynamo: together to battle!
In their last UPL game the White-Blues defeated FC Metalurh Donetsk 9:1. After that there was a two-week pause caused by international matches.
The team was reunited on October 16. Thus Oleh Blokhin’s men had only three days for preparation for Kyiv derby.

As for injured performers, Yevhen Selin and Denys Harmash keep recovering.
One of the White-Blues leaders Andriy Yarmolenko is sure that the forthcoming match won’t be easy.
Arsenal: on the verge of bankruptcy
