Dynamo Kyiv - Epitsentr: Can Dynamo finally win in the league?
Epitsentr Kamianets-Podilskyi
On Monday, September 14, we will see a sixth-round Ukrainian Premier League clash between Dynamo Kyiv and Epitsentr. The match will kick off at 14:30 CET, and I am offering a bet on it.
Dynamo Kyiv - Epitsentr: Match preview
Last season, Dynamo Kyiv failed to challenge for the league title and finished as low as fourth in the table. However, the team managed to win the Ukrainian Cup, which allowed the Kyiv side to play in European qualifying. But the results were disappointing: they were eliminated in the UEFA Europa League qualifying round and then in the UEFA Conference League qualifiers. In the current league campaign, Dynamo have won twice, but have also drawn once and lost once. They have seven points after four rounds, a 4:5 goal difference and sit seventh in the table. They clearly need to change something if they want to return to the title race.
Epitsentr played in the top division of Ukrainian football last season. The team finished 10th in the table and collected 30 points from 32 matches. The new season has started quite well for the team. After five rounds, Epitsentr have collected more points than Dynamo Kyiv. The team currently have eight points after five rounds and sit fifth in the table. Most likely, Epitsentr also have every chance of finishing somewhere in the middle of the table this campaign.
