Football. ua is the announcement of the match of the 16th round of the UPL between Shakhtar and Lviv.

19:00, Kharkov, USC Metalist. Arbitrator - Nikolay Balakin. Live broadcast on TV Football 1.

In Kharkov, the championship leader will play with the team of Yuri Bakalov.

A two-week break for the national teams for the Miner was necessary. And if in the championship things are going brilliantly at the Donetsk team, then before the two decisive fights in the Champions League, the team of Paulo Fonseca needed a small reset. However, because of the call to the national teams of a number of players, the Portuguese conducted trainings only with the performers he had at his disposal, who were diluted by the youth from the double. Which is not new in itself..

Lviv dreamed about getting into the six of the best, but so far they are eighth. The gap of two points from the desired position seems to be quite otygryvym, besides the level of the game, demonstrated by the team Bakalova, allows you to look into the future with some optimism. Particularly pleased with the rapid progress of the universal Brazilian Lucas Taylor, able to both disperse the attack, and score himself. But the most difficult his choice mentor Lviv to be done at the last turn. And the highly experienced Alexander Bandura, and Bogdan Sarnavsky, who once belonged to the Miner, play almost alternately. Let's see who the mentor will prefer.

In terms of staffing, Fonseca's headache has decreased. Restored leaders Tyson, Junior Moraes and Marlos, moreover, diligent Sergey Bolbat behaves well.

There is also Andrei Totovitsky, who for some reason actually ignores the coaching staff. In any case, the hosts will strive with all their might to win the fights remaining until the winter break, and there is no reason to doubt that they will succeed.

Approximate compositions Shakhtar: Pyatov - Matvienko, Khocholava, Rakitsky, Ismaili - Stepanenko, Maikon - Bolbat, Kovalenko, Tyson - Moraes Lvov: Bandura - Adamyuk, Paramonov, Borzenko, Golikov - Sabino, Martan - Taylor, Jonathan, Araujo - Cesar forecast 3 : 0.
