The teams from Kyiv are preparing for their next matches, which promise to be significant in the tour. From August 29 to 31, the matches of the fourth round of the Ukrainian Premier League will take place. The capital's teams — ‘Dynamo’ and ‘Obolon’ — will play their upcoming matches, which can be considered the highlights of the tour. The first match is crucial from the perspective of the standings, while the second focuses on the status of the opponents.

‘KRYVBAS’ — ‘OBOLON’

Where: Kryvyi Rih, ‘Hirnyk’ Stadium

When: August 30 (Saturday), 13:00

In the first three rounds, ‘Obolon’ surprised everyone. The team has yet to taste defeat, despite facing tough opponents. Fans have been treated to beautiful goals, especially from Serhiy Sukhanov.

Now ‘Obolon’ faces an away match against the ambitious ‘Kryvbas’. Patrick van Leeuwen is building a new team, having successfully dealt with his former clubs ‘Zorya’ and ‘Metalist 1925’, but now he faces another challenge with the Kovalivka team ‘Koloss’.

Whether ‘Obolon’ can continue its unbeaten streak is the main intrigue of this match. However, this time it will be difficult, as the main goalkeeper Denis Marchenko suffered a serious injury shortly before.

‘DYNAMO’ — ‘POLISSYA’

Where: Kyiv, ‘Dynamo’ Stadium named after Valeriy Lobanovskyi

When: August 31 (Sunday), 15:30

This match is set to be the highlight of the tour. No other match will feature such a concentration of skilled players and coaches. Both teams played matches in European competitions on Thursday, where they were eliminated from their tournaments. Thus, the opponents will be on equal footing regarding logistics and physical readiness. Neither team has any suspended players.

It is also worth noting that the ‘Polissya’ squad includes players who once wore the Kyiv team’s colors, so they have something to prove. Even Ruslan Rotan himself used to be a Dynamo player.
