Miner - Lviv 14:00, Krivoy Rog, October Mine. Arbitrator - Dmitry Panchishin.
For a long time in Kryvyi Rih the clubs of the elite division didn’t go on an official visit.. Krivbassa for several years, as a trace of a cold, and now for a large industrial city alone blows Miner. Returning this year to professional football, the team of Gennady Prikhodko is on the third line of the table in his group, and has good chances to compete for access to the first division. Miner has ambitions and in the Cup of the country. What-what, and from Lviv the second-team team is quite capable of beating up. Moreover, it is far from a fact that the “municipalities” will completely depart from the heroic victory in Kiev over Dynamo (0: 1). It is possible that Yuri Bakalov may even apply the rotation, and then the chances of getting into the quarter-finals will become even more equal..
Kalush - Dnepr-1 14:00, Kalush, Chemist. Arbitrator - Dmitry Krivushkin.
Kalush has already made a sensation that he sneaked into the Ukrainian Cup so far. The victory over Metalist-1925 was strained, but for the club from a small town - historical. Now ahead is a new test.. Dnipro-1 last season also sensationally reached the semifinals, where Dynamo was stopped. Nowadays, the Dnipro people have seriously grown stronger, and are already fighting for access to the Premier League.. It turns out great! The team of Dmitry Mikhaylenko stamps victory after victory, and only some wild force majeure can deprive them of the desired trips to the elite class. In the Cup, the coaching staff has the opportunity to check the players who receive the minimum playing time.. However, the strict Mihailenko will certainly not allow any misunderstanding on Kalush. The task is to go as far as possible, and already the club of the lower division Dnepr-1 must pass.
Minai - Dynamo 14:00, Minai, Minai Arena. Arbitrator - Yuri Ivanov.
The arrival of the most titled club of the country in a modest village near Uzhgorod is expected with undisguised interest.. The Transcarpathian region is traditionally considered one of the most football ones; moreover, only this season he again received his plenipotentiary in professional football.. And what a! Well, the name Minai seems quite exotic, and the composition of this club, even by the standards of the Premier League, is very decent.. Judge for yourself. The midfield team Igor Kharkivshchenko cement Vasily Kobin, Vladislav Mikulyak and Mikhail Kopolovets. Yes, the very truth of Ukrainian football that goes to church "before every grain". It is a pity that he, with a high degree of probability, will miss the match with Dynamo.
Dynamo have enough problems for the cup match. The defeat from Lviv actually reduced the chances for gold medals to a minimum, and the country's Cup in this connection is perhaps the most promising tournament. True, Alexander Khatskevich will surely carry out a rotation. And the leaders are tired, and to play the inhabitants of the benches and doublers should be given. However, even with such a disposition, Dynamo goes to Minai for victory.
Ingulets - Mariupol 15:00, Petrovo, Ingulets. The arbitrator - Vladimir Novokhatny.
The team of Alexander Babich is facing a difficult test.. Ingulets is quoted as a candidate for access to the elite, and does not let anyone in their home arena. Forward Alexander Akimenko punching goal after goal, and the other performers - to become a leader. There is someone to play in Ingulets, and it is also quite likely that Mariupol will not arrive in Petrovo in the optimal composition.. Obviously, the Priazovs keep the championship in priority, and the mix and substitute doubles will be sent to the cup meeting.. Well, for the hosts such matches are a real fair.. It is possible to look at others and better to show yourself.. Sergey Lavrinenko is a progressive trainer, and he is clearly preparing an exquisite tactical dish for Mariupol guests. Meanwhile, Babich's team will certainly do everything in order to reach the quarter-finals, because you can easily follow the cup road to the already experienced Europa League ... Chernomorets - Vorskla 17:00, Odessa, Chernomorets. Arbitrator - Victor Kopievsky. Live broadcast on TV Football 1.
Black clouds are hanging over Angel Chervenkov. Chernomorets this fall lost everything that can and cannot be, and rightly dug in at risk. However, the Cup is a completely different tournament.. Here, heightened spirit and concentration can serve an excellent service, and more than once it happened that the favorites gave way to potential underdogs.. Odessans in this pair are just as such, which is confirmed by the last home defeat of the Carpathians (0: 5). That match very revealingly exposed numerous problems in the game “sailors”.
Vorskla its extreme fight on the contrary ended in victory. And again 2: 1, and again helped the defender of the opponent, cut the ball into his own net. The team of Vasyl Sachko is lucky to get “self-arrows”. However, lucky lucky ones. Vorskla is now in good shape and in a great mood.. No wonder, the first Victoria was won in the Europa League, and in the championship a bronze race broke out with a new force. Poltava residents also do not forget about the Cup, especially this peak ten years ago they already submitted to. Vasyl Sachko remembers it very well.
Cherkashchina Academy - Carpathians 18:00, Cherkasy, Central. Arbitrator - Andrei Kovalenko.
Carpathians to travel to central Ukraine. The team of Jose Moraish, who defeated Chernomorets, will now try to implement the many-year slogan of his fans “Cup to Lviv! ". Yes, trophies and generally any achievements from the Carpathians their faithful admirers have been demanding for a long time and without success, so why not try here and now? ! Composition in Lviv decent, legionaries fit in well, so that the case for small - you need a result. Cherkasy club in this regard is easier. From the representative of the second league, initially nothing is expected, and there is a good chance to accomplish a small feat.. Play and surprise the owners have someone. Roman Loktionov and Oleg Tarasenko have seen quite a lot in their lifetime, besides, the last one started its football career in the Carpathians. So intrigue is in any case.
Shakhtar - Olympic 19:00, Kharkiv, USK Metalist. Arbitrator - Nikolay Balakin. Live broadcast on TV Football 2.
Paulo Fonseca after a crushing defeat from Manchester City (0: 3) seems to be starting a positive. In the championship, the gap from Dynamo grew to a comfortable five points, and in the next round, the Pitmen will play with the people of Kiev. But that's not all.. The indispensable Tyson returned to the group, on the way to the same - another leader Marlos. In general, things are going well.
Lucky with cup draw. The countrymen will be accepted from Olimpik in the “half-baked” Kharkov, and besides, the opponent is just beginning. The new coaching staff, headed by Shakhtar legend Vyacheslav Shevchuk, is looking for his own handwriting, but the results are not yet formed. In the Cup, in fact, there is nothing to lose, and who will throw a stone in the garden of the “Olympians” if they lose to the flagship of our football. In any case, Shevchuk will be configured in combat. Otherwise, he simply does not know how.. Fonseca, in turn, will certainly make several personnel changes. In the last match with Arsenal, they justified themselves. Moreover, on Saturday, the fateful fight with Dynamo, and the leaders must be kept.
Desna - Dawn 19:30, Chernigov, them. Gagarin. Arbitrator - Ivan Bondar. Live broadcast on TV Football 1.
Two fighters for a place in the six of the best will converge among themselves in the Cup of the country. In the last match, Desna outplayed strong Mariupol (2: 0), while the Luhansk players scored zero with Alexandria. For both clubs, the vector of tasks is directed to the championship, and in this respect cup games can serve as running in of the nearest reserves..
And if the Desna has problems in this regard, then Yuri Vernidub has someone to count on.. For example, on promising forward Sergey Mayboroda, who played well the last match. Other performers are waiting in the wings, and there is every reason to believe that the Lugansk club in Chernihiv will appear in experimental combination. Alexander Ryabokon, too, will surely make some changes in the composition, even if even point ones. Anyway, the fight should be interesting and uncompromising..
