Vadym Shakhraichuk’s team will be playing their second-to-last match of the regular season in Odesa. The series of matches against Oleksandr Bobkin’s team has felt particularly lengthy for Capitals. In the previous calendar year, the teams faced off only twice, but in 2024, they will meet for the fourth time.
The last match between the two teams was prematurely interrupted at the Kyiv Sports Palace. Despite this, Vadym Shakhraichuk’s team has only managed to secure one victory in their head-to-head matchups.
As about positive, Serhii Chernenko is making his return to the team after serving his suspension and will be joining the squad in Odesa.
