This Saturday will see the weekend’s most thrilling clash between reigning champions (currently 3rd placed Dynamo) and last season’s bronze medalists (currently 4th placed) Metalist.
The White-Blues have played 22 games against the team form Kharkiv, winning 19 encounters, drawing 2 and losing 1, with the goal difference of 56-14.
The 1998/1999 season saw the most prolific game when Metalist was defeated 1-6 on its home soil.
The highest scoring player for Dynamo is Maksim Shatskikh (including Maksim’s hat trick in the 2000/2001 season), who has amassed 9 goals. Metalist boasts less remarkable achievements: 2 goals from 2 top scorers (Ivanenko and Pryzetko).
