"Kryvbas" - "Zorya". Preview

Tomorrow, Kryvbas will play against Zorya in the 18th round of the UPL. The match was moved to the reserve home stadium of our club this season due to adverse weather conditions.

The first round match gave the fans a real football spectacle. Goals from Zaderaka (double) and Paraсo brought Kryvyi Rih a hard-fought 3:2 victory. As for the games of the previous round, Kryvbas was satisfied with a draw against Metalist 1925 - 0:0, and Zorya ultimately lost an away victory over Kudrivka - 2:2.

The red-and-white midfielder Shevchenko will definitely not be able to take part in tomorrow's match, as he received his fourth warning in the season in the previous round, which means a one-round disqualification.
