On Friday, Kyiv fans will have the opportunity to witness the second derby of the season between two strong contenders from the previous championship’s semi-finals.
Vadym Shakhraichuk’s team is entering the upcoming head-to-head match in top form, holding a five-point lead over their opponent and currently occupying a higher position in the standings.
The first encounter this season was characterized by intense competition and intrigue, with our team ultimately emerging victorious thanks to the solid performance of goalkeeper Boiko and the goal-scoring capabilities of Karpenko and Panchenko.
Following the initial showdown, both teams have competed in four matches, achieving similar outcomes. They experienced defeats against Storm-Odesa, but secured victories against Dnipro, Kremenchuk, and Kryzhynka.
Main goal scorers include Panchenko, who has netted seven goals for Vadym Shakhraichuk’s side, and Maksym Zherebko, who has scored four goals for Oleg Shafarenko’s team.
Another point of interest is the goalkeeper situation for the Kyiv Capitals. Boiko has demonstrated his reliability in recent matches against Sokil, while Vilardo, his more seasoned counterpart, has also shown his capabilities, including registering his first shutout of the season in the match against Kremenchuk.
The decision on who will defend the goal in the upcoming derby remains uncertain, adding to the anticipation surrounding the match. All these questions and more will be answered tomorrow during the highly awaited derby.
