The current tournament leader, Dynamo Kyiv, is set to face the Premier League debutant, Livyi Bereg. This marks the inaugural match of the potential new capital derby. Both teams are under pressure. Livyi Bereg, despite only securing two wins this year, is showing promise and is determined to solidify its presence in the league. Their recent matches against formidable opponents, including rivals and Oleksandria, resulted in obligatory losses, but their potential is undeniable.
Dynamo Kyiv is a force to be reckoned with on the national level. The team, led by their former goalkeeper Shovkosky, has won five matches, including a streak in September. However, the fans have been critical after the team’s failure in the nominal home game in the Europa League. Despite this, one cannot overlook the experience that Dynamo brings to the table. Their potential for a win is undeniable.
