CHIEF REFEREE — DMYTRO KUBRYAK (ODESA). LIVE ON UPL.TV Kudrivka, which last season was able to save a place in the UPL at the last moment (they beat Agrobiznes 4:2 on penalty kicks in head-to-head matches), is gradually adapting to the requirements of the elite division. The team shows an unyielding character and bets on an organized defensive game and quick counterattacks. For the nominal hosts, this match is a great opportunity to gain a foothold in the middle of the tournament table and gain confidence in the confrontation with a direct competitor. Obolon started the new part of the season with noticeable difficulties. The brewers failed the first round — losing 0:3 to Epicenter and enduring a scoreless draw 0:0 with Bukovyna.
