Dynamo: remembering about honour and prestige
Dynamo are going through difficult period because of the change of the head coach. After Oleh Blokhin’s resignation Serhiy Rebrov took charge of the team. On one hand young specialist has been given a free hand as Dynamo don’t have ambitious aims this season any more. On the other hand one should remember about honour, prestige and supporters’ attitude. Besides Kyivans still have a chance to win the Ukrainian Cup.
Serhiy Rebrov, who never worked on his own, has got a serious challenge. It’s very important for him to finish current season worthy.
Rebrov’s debut as caretaker manager wasn’t easy though it turned out to be a success. Dynamo pulled the victory against FC Vorskla Poltava. That’s really important that players were supporting their coach and trying to help him.
As for injured performers, Yevhen Khacheridi keeps recovering. Miguel is almost ready to rejoin the team. Besides Rebrov can count on Lukman Haruna, who skipper the previous match for family reasons.
Chornomorets: to hold the position
At the moment Odesa side are fifth in the UPL standings lacking only two points behind FC Metalist Kharkiv. Chornomorets must be in good mood as they defeated FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk in the previous game.
Chornomorets have conceded only 18 goals in 23 matchdays which is the best result in the UPL at the moment. On the other hand they’ve scored only 25.
The forthcoming match will be also interesting because Roman Hryhorchuk is one of those coaches media bring into contract with the White-Blues.
Balance of face-to-face matches
Dynamo faced Chornomorets 25 time within the UPL (W-26, D-5, L-4, goal difference – 79-27).
