Petrovskaya team started the second round very well. An away victory over Dynamo, a few more successful matches – and it seemed that the nervous ending of the championship could be avoided, and team president Alexander Povoroznyuk made the right choice by appointing Sergei Kovalets as head coach. But then the results got worse and worse, the team rolled down the table and is ahead of only the two main losers of the championship – Metalist and Lviv.
True, the opponents in the last matches were serious – all three of the leaders plus the strong Kryvbas. Well, and “Rukh”, with which the Peter’s team had a difficult relationship. Refusal to provide each other with a training field, a bus for trips – for some reason such things took place in the relationship between the teams. It is not surprising that “Rukh” tuned in to the game and defeated “Ingulets”. And with the other teams mentioned above, they also managed to take only one point – with Kryvbas.
Sergei Kovalets seems to have started looking for a new stable line-up. Of course, injuries also contribute to this, but quite often the players who sat on the bench in the previous game go to the next game at Ingulets. It will be interesting to see what the coach decides this time.
For some reason, it seems that Ingulets will not avoid transitional matches – the team looks unbalanced. But there are two tours to put the naysayers to shame.
Metalworker 1925
Metalist 1925 leads a group of six teams that will determine the two losers who will play transitional matches. The Kharkiv team of stars from the sky is not enough, but in matches with equal teams it consistently takes points. The only exception was the game in Rivne against Veres.
Centerback Igor Kurilo, who missed the derby of the last round due to disqualification, will return to the game. This return will strengthen the defense – Igor can sometimes bring problems for himself, but in general he cements the center well.
His partner in the center in the last round, Nikita Bezugly, became the best player of the match according to the fans against Metalist. Let’s see how this combination can help score important points in Petrov.
Metalist 1925 has long been competing with Oleksandriya for the curious title of “the most draw team in the championship”. Oleksandriya took the lead – they have thirteen draws, while the wards of Edmar and Golodyuk have “only” twelve. There is an opportunity to catch up.
