Kryvbas' preparation for the new season continues. Tomorrow, Patrick van Leeuwen's team will hold the second test match of the summer offseason. The opponent of the red-and-whites will be Odessa's Chornomorets, which returned to the UPL.
After the first sparring match against Ingulets (1:2), the coaching staff continues to work on the team's physical readiness, honing game connections and reviewing young players. That is why the result in such matches remains secondary, while the main goal is high-quality preparation for the start of the official season.
Chornomorets is also using the summer break to form the team and prepare for the new football year: on June 25, the Odessans held a sparring match against their compatriots from Real Pharma and won - 4:0. So the upcoming match will be a good test for both teams.
The last meeting of today's rivals took place back in 2024. On December 7, as part of the 16th round of the UPL, the Kryvyi Rih team celebrated an away victory - 3:1 (Ilych, Mykytyshyn, Tverdokhlib - Skyba).
