Helios - Desna Kharkiv. Helios-Arena In Kharkov, one of the main contenders for a ticket to the Supreme Division. True, the cup tournament implies a slightly different tournament strategy, and it is possible that both coaches will hold small rotations of their teams. By the way, these teams met each other in the Cup of the country a year ago. Then in the match of the second preliminary round the team of Sergei Sisikhin in the stadium of Solnechny lost to the northerners, in which Pavel Shchedrakov scored an accurate blow. Now, already in their club arena, the "sunny" will try to take revenge against the Chernigovites. However, the wards of Alexander Ryabokon will surely do everything in order to leave Kharkov with a shield.

Agrobusiness - Veres Volochisk. Youth In Volochisk comes one of the troublemakers in the Premier League. Meanwhile, as the coach Yury Virte noted, the composition for the match with the leader of the second league will be slightly changed. Most likely, some Veres leaders will be given rest, and, in turn, the nearest reservists will get a chance to prove themselves. Owners, in spite of this, will be very difficult, because in the second division the level of rivals is frankly lower, and underestimation in the direction of Agribusiness Wirth will certainly not allow.

Kolos - Mariupol Kovalivka. Kolos In the last season both teams played in the first league, and to the last led, with different success, the fight for the highest places. It turned out better for Priazov, and now the team of Alexander Sevidov is more and more clearly a full-fledged contender for getting into European cups. However, this fact does not undo the intrigue in the cup confrontation. Of course, the hosts before their tribunes will try, at least, to give a worthy fight to the couple's favorite, and for this Ruslan Kostyshyn's team has more than enough resources. Moreover, Mariupol will probably play with a semi-reserve structure, which should somewhat equal the chances of both teams. So the battle should be the same again!.

Pearl - Steel Odessa. Spartak In South Palmira will be a difficult fight outsiders their divisions. The pearl did not quite successfully start in the first league, and while is in the danger zone. The same can be said about the Kamchans who, after two sensational victories with each round, all increase their losing streak. Yeghishe Melikyan in terms of rotation will not be envied: to change the majority of the main performers is banal to no one, and to put in juniors is to significantly jeopardize the result. Odessites, in turn, are psychologically in a more advantageous position, because even the defeat of the elite team is unlikely to be a tragedy for the club.

Tavriya-Simferopol-Zirka Berislav, Mashinostroitel A strong middle peasant of the second league in Berislav will take the exam for professional suitability to a representative of the elite. True, the kropivnitsky club this season does not shine with results, which, undoubtedly, adds gray hair to Roman Monarev. Zirka's mentor in the cup match had the opportunity to check the nearest reserve in the case, but it's unlikely that the guests will go on cardinal personnel changes. Most likely, Monarev will manage several impregnations of doubles in the composition. The hosts will also be curious to test their abilities against the background of a team of a higher class, which, of course, will increase interest in the fight.

Avangard - Vorskla Kramatorsk, Vanguard Occupying, at the moment, the third place in the Premier League Vorskla will go to hospitable Kramatorsk, where they are always welcome to elite clubs. The rival in Poltava is very uneasy. Despite the status of entrenched middle peasants of the first league, Alexander Kosevich's team is able to give battle to almost any opponent, and Vorskla will have to sweat a lot, in order to obtain the desired result for himself. Vasily Sachko, like most of his colleagues in the coaching department of the Premier League, with a high probability will not do without personnel changes. This, on the one hand, a priori adds chances to the owners, and on the other - will give an opportunity to check the reservists at a high level.

Ingulec - Arsenal Petrovo, Ingulets These teams have already had time to bore a lot of each other. Not only that, the Petrovtsi and the Kievites are contenders for entering the upper division, so now they were reduced to the tournament fate by the villain in the Cup of the country. Interesting this confrontation will be, first of all, from the point of view of the coaching duel of two perspective mentors of namesakes-Sergeev - Lavrinenko and Litovchenko. The first bet on ex-wards for Zirka, who, at this stage, fully justify the confidence of the coach. Especially in this respect, the stamping goal is divided into the opponents' gates Alexander Akimenko. Their leaders, and even more, there are also "Gunners". Forward invoice Alexander Batalsky scores fairly regularly, and in this he is helped by Artem Stargorodsky and returned to the club of Aderinsol Ezeola. So in Petrov there will be a fascinating meeting.

Prykarpattya - Carpathian Mountains Ivano-Frankivsk. Rukh On a visit to one of the leaders of the second division, the long-suffering Carpathians. The main image maker of the last week, the Lviv club managed to replace the Spaniard Sergio Navarro with the proven Sergei Zaitsev, which already gave the result in the game with Zarei (0: 0). For sure, the Galicians will do everything possible to celebrate the full success in the West Ukrainian derby. With this, undoubtedly, ambitious owners who are hoping to pass a historical rival will not agree.

Dnipro-1 - Gornyak-Dnipro, Dnipro-Arena After the away draw in the central match of the second league with Metalist 1925 (1: 1), the Dnipro before the native fans will try to pass the middle of the first division. It is interesting that the guests are headed by the legend of the Dnieper Sergey Puchkov, for whom this match is sure to become superprincipal. In the team of Dmitry Mikhaylenko, the mood is also maximal, and the presence of such masters as Sergei Kravchenko and Vladimir Polevoy adds significantly the chances of Dnipro to the ultimate success.

Демня - ФК Львов Львов, SKIF Lviv derby of amators and one of the leaders of the second division is expected with undisguised interest. Nominee owners have already had time to "make a fuss" in the current Cup draw, and will do everything to make the amateur fairy tale continue. "Municipal" the main goal of the season determined the championship, but also in the second most important tournament will give all the forces to achieve a positive result. In addition, the very derby status of the match assumes its exceptional significance. At a minimum, for the Lviv public.
