In Schaslyve, the first and second teams of the league table will play, both having 42 points three rounds before the end of the first stage.

If this will be the first official match of the year for the Poltava team, "Metalist 1925" has already played one championship game, defeating "Sisters" 3:2 away.

In the second half of the season, "Vorskla" will appear significantly transformed, as this winter the team has been left by almost all the most experienced players. The newcomers to the Poltava team will have to get acquainted directly during the game, as the registration period starts only today. It was also announced recently that the head coach will now be Yevhen Kravchenko, who will replace Iya Andrushchak - the new head coach of the Ukrainian national team.

It is worth reminding that the face-to-face meeting of the first round ended with a victory for the "green-whites" with a score of 2:0, allowing them to maintain the leading position for now with equal points.
