Football. ua presents the announcement of the fifth round of the group round of the Europa League between Ostersund and Dawn.
In the penultimate round of the group round of the Europa League in Quartet J, if not all, then very much. All four teams have chances to qualify for the playoffs. Dawn is currently in second place and will try to get a positive result in Sweden.
Ostersund - Dawn Thursday, November 23, 20:00. Ostersund, Ostersund Arena. Arbitrator - Kevin Blom (Netherlands). Live broadcast on the television channel Football 1 In the first round of the group tournament, the Lugansk players lost to Estersund in a nominally home match (0: 2), and now they dream of returning the debt to the Swedes in the same coin. The occasion seemed very appropriate, given the degree of intrigue in the group. Who could initially assume that in the two rounds before the end of the group stage the first places will be occupied by the Swedes and Ukrainians, while the recognized favorites of Athletic and Hertha will be in the rearguard. However, everything is very relative, and in this regard, the fights of the fifth round can correct the situation in any direction.
If the championship in the country Tre Krunur has already ended, and Ostersund can concentrate exclusively on the European League, then Zarey faces several topical tasks. In the championship, Yuri Vernadub's wards are not doing well, and despite a number of successful matches, the Lugansk players have yet to compete for getting into the top six. In addition, the depth of the composition of the Zarya to a special variation does not have, and in fact the same people who last weekend produced a scandalous draw with Veres (1: 1), will be in the cage in a Swedish duel.
The Scandinavian club's goals are much more prosaic. In the case of a hypothetical victory over Zarey, the collective under Graham Potter's management will early form the exit to the playoffs, so the hosts will be clearly determined. Luhansk, in turn, also need to win, but you should look back at the result in a parallel match, while worrying for the success of Hertha.
The team of Vernadoub comes the most important stage, which can become a historic breakthrough. For the first time the Lugansk region is so close to getting into the playoffs of the European club tournament, and, moreover, before the two final tours the chances of the Ukrainian club are considered very high. Much will depend on how much the coaching staff will be able to find the right keys to the subliminal players, and they, in turn, will be able to implement the mentor's ideas on the field. I would like to hope that the nice Lugansk team will succeed!.
Interesting facts - Ostersund will play in the playoffs in case of victory. As for Zari, she will break into the 1/16 finals, if she wins, and Athletic lose in a parallel match between Herta;.
- Ostersund became the first Swedish club to win in Ukraine;.
- Of the last six guest European Cup matches, Zarya lost five. The exception was the minimum victory over Athletics in the second round of the group stage. The goal of Igor Kharatin in Bilbao is the only one for Zarya in five away matches of the group stage of the Europa League.
Approximate compositions of Ostersund: Keita - Mensa, Nuri, Papayannopulos - Bjerkstrom, Edwards, Pettersson, Sema - Fritsson - Archin, Bertilsson.
Dawn: Lunin - Opanasenko, Grechishkin, Svatok, Sukhotsky - Andrievsky - Karavaev, Kharatin, Gordienko, Gromov - Yuri.
Words by Yuri Vernidub, coach of Zarya: "Every game in the Europa League is a holiday for me and for the team.
This time we have a chance to go further. I hope that it will be possible, and we will all do this. I am very impressed by the game of Ostersund. The hand of the coach is visible. An untypical Swedish team that knows how and likes to play in the attack, control the ball. There are strong players in the attack, extreme defenders are fast. Good level team. We have a desire to play well, because they lost to them 2: 0 ".
