Thanks to a completely healthy group to choose from, the Obolon Kyiv manager does not have any fitness concerns at all coming into this game. The players ineligible for this match because of suspension are Oleksandr Rybka and Maksym Grysyo.
Prediction
We’ve got the feeling that Obolon Kyiv have it within them to find the back of the net against this Oleksandria outfit, however it possibly won’t quite be enough to avoid defeat.
We’re expecting a very close game with a 2-1 advantage for Oleksandria at the end of this one. Should be a good one.
