The team coached by Viktor Skrypnyk comes motivated for this match after an away victory, by 3-4, against Illichivets: Nazaryna, Zahedi and Gladky scored the goals of this beautiful triumph. The home team has a habit of playing in a 4-4-2 formation, where the players who will occupy a more central zone are: Yegor Nazaryna and Sergiy Buletsa; with emphasis on the last one who is responsible for conducting the onslaught of his team.
