On Wednesday, May 24, the 28th round of the Ukrainian football championship, which was interrupted last season due to a full-scale invasion of Russian troops, will start with matches involving the leaders.
In the central match of the game day, “Zorya”, which increased its winning streak in the UPL to seven meetings after the win against “Ingulets”, will host “Shakhtar”, which in the previous round barely overcame “Veres” at the “Dynamo” arena named after Valery Lobanovskyi in the capital ( 2:1).
It should be noted that in the last six meetings of the Premier League, Luhansk lost to Donetsk only once (albeit with a crushing score – 1:6 in 2021), drawing three times and winning twice.
However, in the upcoming match between the first and third teams of the Ukrainian Premier League, the bookies still see the Donetsk residents as the favorites. For example, the Favbet office accepts bets on the victory of “Zorya” with a coefficient of 4.25, on a draw – 3.90, on the victory of “Shakhtar” – 1.84.
In other matches of the day, the main competitor of Shakhtar and Zora, Dnipro-1, will host Vorskla in Uzhhorod, Dynamo, after a crushing victory in Oleksandria (5:1), will visit Kovalivka to visit Kolos, which only in the 90th + 4th minute, Dnipro-1 conceded, and Ruslan Rotan’s wards will try to make amends for the failure in the duel with Oleksandr Shovkovskyi’s team in the game in Rivne against “Veres”.
Four more matches of the tour, involving teams fighting for survival, will be played on Thursday, May 25. The local club of the same name and “Rukh” will meet in Minai, “Ingulets” will host “Metalist 1925”, which won last Monday’s Kharkiv derby, “Lviv”, which has already been relegated from the UPL and will soon cease to exist, in its native Petrov. will try to put up a decent resistance against “Chornomorets” at SKIF, and “Metalist” will come to “Kryvbas” in Kryvyi Rih.
