Dynamo: to go through Kharkiv path
Many Ukrainian supporters can’t forget the episode when Oleh Husiev suffered injury as the White-Blues faced FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk. Fortunately Kyivans skipper is fine.
Meanwhile preparation for the match against FC Metalist Kharkiv is well under way. On a recent day journalists were present at Oleh Blokhin’s men training session. The White-Blues halfback Ognjen Vukojevic has told how they work in the run-up to important fixture:
“We are getting ready for the game in all seriousness. Everyone understands that we are in for a very difficult match against Metalist. Last week we defeated them in Kharkiv and demonstrated good play. We must perform the same way in Kyiv. Three points are vital for us”.
As for losses, it’s absolutely clear that Oleh Husiev and Yevhen Khacheridi won’t take the field on April 6. On the other hand Younes Belhanda and Vladyslav Kalytvyntsev have recovered from injuries.
Metalist: a matter of ambitions
It has been already told a lot about Metalist problems. They are unlikely to struggle for Premiership this season.
Las time the Yellow-Blues earned three points within the Ukrainian Premier League on October 30 2013 as the defeated FC Karpaty Lviv away.
Ihor Rakhaev’s men have conceded eight goals and scored five in three last matches which means they have serious problems with defense.
In this situation fans’ support and emotional factor are of great importance for Metalist.
As for the problems, question number one concerns goalkeeper. It should be also mentioned that Argentinean defender Cristian Villagra won’t feature against Dynamo because of suspension.
