Where to watch: UPL TV Zorya

The match between Zorya and Dynamo promises to be an exciting confrontation between two strong teams fighting for a place at the top of the standings. Despite the fact that both teams have 9 points, Dynamo is higher due to a better goal difference.

Zorya Luhansk
Zorya Luhansk is going through a period of change. The new coach Mladen Bartulovic, who took charge of the team after the departure of Yuriy Koval, has already achieved his first victory - 2:0 over Obolon. This has had a positive effect on the mood of the team, which is trying to get out of the crisis.

During the break, Zorya strengthened its squad by renting Vladislav Supryaga from Dynamo. This move could be important for strengthening the attack, especially after the departure of Eduardo Guerrero, who moved to the Kyiv club. The victorious friendly match with Poliesie (2:1) also showed that the team is ready for new challenges.

Dynamo (Kyiv)
Despite having played fewer matches in the UPL due to participation in the Champions League qualification, Dynamo Kyiv is confidently moving into the top 5, having won three victories in the championship. Now Oleksandr Shovkovskiy's team will focus on playing in the Europa League and the championship.

During the break, Dynamo played a friendly match, defeating the amateur club Poliesie (Bets) with a score of 8:1. An important transfer was the transfer of Eduardo Guerrero from Zorya, who will most likely make his debut against his former team.

Forecast
This match will be a real test for Zorya, given the status of the opponent. Dynamo is in good shape, but do not underestimate the Luhansk team, who will try to prove their strength under the leadership of a new coach.
