Today, Vadym Shakhraichuk and Oleksandr Bobkin’s teams are facing off for the third time in the championship. In their previous two matches, the teams traded victories with a close scoreline of 3:2 in each match. While the Odesa team secured a win in regular time, the Kyiv team emerged victorious in a shootout series.
Both teams had been leading the tournament table for a significant period, but recent simultaneous losses in the first round following a break have caused a shift in their positions.
Currently, Capitals find themselves in second place, while Kremenchuk’s victory over Kryzhynka has moved Storm-Odesa to fourth place. The two teams are now separated by only two points, making it crucial for the hosts to avoid conceding.
In terms of individual performances, notable scorers from each team have emerged. Valentyn Aleksiuk and Serhii Stetsiura have each found the net twice, while Yevhenii Ratushny scored an additional goal for their team.
On the other side, Vadym Shakhraichuk’s team has seen goals from four different players: Vladyslav Luhovyi, Deniss Berdniks, Danylo Tyshchenko, and Serhii Chernenko.
The upcoming match is poised to have a significant impact on the standings and is expected to be as intense as the previous encounters between these two teams.
