Football. ua names the reasons why Dynamo will score three points in the match of the thirtieth round of the championship of Ukraine against Mariupol.

Dynamo, continuing to pursue Shakhtar at the tournament distance of the Ukrainian championship, lags behind the leader by three points, so any misfire can put an end to the hopes of Kiev to overtake the "miners". The fact that no surprises will not occur in the match against Mariupol within the 30th round of the ULP championship, there are several significant reasons.

Reason one: superiority in the class This reason can be cited on the eve of almost any fight in Kiev in internal competitions, but the fact remains: players who are in favor of the Dynamo in any position are stronger than their colleagues in the role from Mariupol.

The second reason: the history of confrontations Earlier, Dynamo and Mariupol (former Metallurgist and Ilyichevets) met 41 times in all tournaments, 35 of them ended in success with Kiev and only two - with victories of Azov (1 - technical). The difference between goals scored and conceded goals - 104: 25. In the championships of Ukraine 31 victory Dynamo and 2 Mariupol with four draws. On the football field, and not in the offices of officials, the current opponent was able to beat the people of Kiev seven years ago - on May 21, 2011 (3: 2). Two hosts in the first half of Aliyev and Shevchenko unexpectedly answered the hosts three (Yaroshenko, Pukanych and Tishchenko) after the break.

Reason the third: the personnel situation In the previous round in a duel against Vorskla, two Dynamo midfielders were injured, and neither Vitaliy Buyalsky nor Denis Garmash can play against Mariupol. But recovered from injuries Sergei Sidorchuk and Tamas Kadar have already played for the "youth" and can get into the application for the match of the first team. The remaining players are at the disposal of Alexander Khatskevich.

At the same time, the main goalkeeper of the team Rustam Khudzhamov, whose participation in the match against Dynamo is unlikely, continues to recover from the calf muscle after the injury to the Mariupol. In addition, in the same situation is midfielder Eugene Neplyah, who trains on an individual program after a heel injury, received in a fight against Shakhtar.

Reason four: native walls Dynamo only once lost points in a home match against guests from Mariupol - on August 8, 2005, the match in Kiev ended with a score of 1: 1, after which nine wins with a total score of 30: 3 (including humiliating 9 : 0 October 31, 2010).

Reason five: the "folk art" of the press service of Mariupol After the refusal of the Dynamo to go to Mariupol for the match on August 27, 2017 for security reasons (which cost Kievites as a result of technical defeat), the Azov press service disclosed its talents in creating all kinds of memes on the cowardice of the capital club, which sometimes were clearly offensive. Although both sides prefer not to raise this issue now, the Dynamo players, who defeated Mariupol in the last in-person confrontation in Kiev with a score of 5: 1, probably will remember everything and try again to answer the "wits" with a confident victory.

What are the chances for Mariupol to get points? Minimal, but there are also reasons why guests will be able to resist the Dynamo.

The first reason: the tournament position Mariupol retains a good chance to finish in the zone of the League of Europe. Azovians occupy the fifth place and ahead of Veres, going sixth, by three points. Having endured no one who was surprised by the defeat of Shakhtar, Mariupol will certainly try to take at least some points to turn the match of the last round against the direct competitor into a formality.

Reason the second: the character The last meeting of the current rivals in Mariupol, which ended with the victory of the guests with a score of 3: 2, showed that the Azov citizens can give the opponent a fight and make him nervous.

The third reason:

prize-winning It's not a secret for anyone that the loss of Dynamo points will become almost a 100% guarantee of the champion title for Shakhtar, so the "fraternal" club will certainly not remain in debt to Mariupol in case of creating a miracle at the Dynamo stadium named after Valery Lobanovsky.

Practically confident in the victory of Dynamo bookmaker FanSport, installed on the match Dynamo - Mariupol such factors: the victory of the hosts - 1,184, a draw - 7,2, the victory of the guests - 14,0.
