There will be a lot of challenges and emotions, so the main thing is to play as a team and show our maximum. This match is very important for me, as I want to finish my U19 spell with a title
Viktor Tsukanov, midfielder:
– We are expecting a difficult meeting with strong opponents in which the entire season will be decided. There will be a lot of challenges and emotions, so the main thing is to play as a team and show our maximum. This match is very important for me, as I want to finish my U19 spell with a title. I feel the anticipation of the game and cannot wait for the starting whistle, but nerves in such matches take a back seat.

Kolos have collected 44 points in 29 league matches and sit in mid-table (13 wins, 5 draws and 11 losses). In the final stretch of the season, the Kovalivka side have produced rather inconsistent results, with wins alternating with defeats: victories over Obolon U19 (3-2) and Kudrivka U19 (4-1), and defeats to Dynamo U19 (0-2) and Oleksandriia U19 (0-2). Away fixtures have also proved difficult for Vitalii Havrysh’s side, with only one win in their last five matches on the road.
