Mariupol head coach Alexander Babich shared his expectations from the match with Dnepr-1 in the 22nd round of the UPL.

“The match with Dnepr-1 for us is probably more than just a match. But on the other hand, the team should not burn out. On the contrary, we want the guys to go out on the field and play their football. There will be a good field, a good stadium, fans will come and we need to show a good game. Most importantly, during the match, he will not think about the result, but about his game, his actions.

We must be ready for any scenario, for any game of the opponent. I repeat, a lot will depend on psychology. The main thing is that our players do not have excitement, that they are not enslaved. First of all, football is a game and you need to have fun from it, and not move around the field like robots.

Lesha Bykov has not yet recovered 100%. Skips game due to removal Nazar Muravsky. All other guys are training in a common group..

We still have time to think about both the composition and the tactical scheme.. Even according to today's “theory”, one can see from the eyes of the guys that everyone is focused on the upcoming game, "
