As part of the first match of the second round of the UEFA Champions League qualification, Poltava Vorskla will play an away match against the Finnish KuPS.

KuPS - Vorskla Thursday, July 22, 19:00. Kuopion Keskuskenttya, Kuopio. Chief Arbiter - Dmitry Dmitriev (Fanipol, Belarus). Live broadcast on TV channels Football 2.

The first representative of Ukraine in the new European Cup season will be Poltava Vorskla, which, according to the results of last year, took the fifth place in the standings of the Ukrainian Premier League, thanks to which it also got the opportunity to be the first from our country to try out the newly created tournament called the UEFA Conference League.. Yuri Maksimov's wards for the most part managed to keep their talent pool, but the loss of Vladislav Kulach, the top scorer of the last season of our championship, will definitely not pass without a trace..

Moreover, the Poltava people will be opposed by a rather modest, but fully operational team - the Finnish KuPS. The local Veikkausliga is in full swing - on the calendar, only the 12th round is left behind, and the future rival of Vorskla managed to gain a foothold in the second place familiar to him last year, lagging behind the leader, HIK, already by six points. Actually, a season earlier, “Canaries” finished the championship just on the second line.. What immediately catches the eye is the restrained play in attack from the team of Simo Valakari - 18 goals in 12 matches, but 9 goals conceded at the same time suggest that this team is quite reliable in defense.

Bookmakers consider KuPS to be the favorite. Thus, the Favorite company offers a coefficient of 2.46 for the victory of the " Vorskla's victory is estimated at 2.70, and a draw result - 3.25.

The match KuPS - Vorskla will start at 19:00 Kyiv time. Football. ua will carry out a text broadcast of this game.
