Dynamo: to impose opponent own play
FC Dynamo Kyiv started the 2014/15 UPL with home win against FC Vorskla Poltava.
The only goal of the game was scored by Roman Bezus, who didn’t get a lot of game practice last season. Today Kyivans play with great dedication.
The White-Blues have already played one top-match – Ukrainian Super Cup against FC Shakhtar Donetsk. It seems that the forthcoming game against Metalist won’t be easier.
Unlike the match against Vorskla Serhiy Rebrov can count on more players, who missed pre-season training camps.
Dynamo have several high profile performers for almost every position. For example Vladyslav Kalytvyntsev has proved to be a worthy substitution for Andriy Yarmolenko.
As for attack, after Brown Ideye was signed by West Bromwich Albion FC and Dieumerci Mbokani picked up an injury Artem Kravets got a chance to approve himself.
Metalist: to regain team balance
Right before the start of the season Metalist faced another demarche of foreign players. Three Argentineans Jose Sosa, Alejandro Gomez and Jonathan Cristaldo decided to go back to their motherland motivating that with dangerous situation in Ukraine.
Four more performer have joined other teams: Marlos, Willian, Viacheslav Sharpar and Olexandr Noyok.
Only Denys Kulakov has been signed by Metalist.
Kharkiv side main problem is attack. They have only one striker – Volodymyr Homeniuk.
