Shakhter (Donezk):

Mirchi Lychesky`s team after the losses in European League show outstanding football in a home championship. In the last 6 rounds the team won all the time, allowing to take the 1st line of the championship. The team does not score that many goals but also does not mees any. Games between Shakhter and Dnepr were always interesting, making both of team's fans enjoy a great football. Taking the resent influence of referees on the result of the match, we hope that the result will be fair.

Dnepr (Dnepropetrovsk):

Dnepr is a strong team, however they did not have any sensations since the time of E.M. Kycherevskiy. Afterwards, there were many coaches of the team, however they could not lead the team to any dramatic successes. Although, now the team starts to play well under the coaching of Bessonov.
