Match build-up

Roman Zaiev's team continue topping the First League group B confidently. Shakhtar won all six starting matches (goal difference is 54-0), being three points ahead of the closest pursuers. After the meeting with Dnipro-1, the ladies were preparing for the upcoming match against Yunist – they dedicated one day to recovery before a five-day training cycle.

Roman Zaiev, head coach:

"Yunist are a young team whose squad changes significantly every season. In the last three rounds, it differs by 20 to 30 percent, which indicates instability. In any case, they have young and promising players, with the results proving that. I don’t exclude the possibility of rotation in the upcoming match. We’ll give more time for rest to those having a high level of fatigue. We will also systematically involve those who get less match practice. We will try not to give Yunist the opportunity to score the first league goal against us."

Opponents

Previously,Yunist played at the professional level. Presently, Liudmyla Lemeshko’s team features mainly the players born in 2005 or 2006. Last season, the team claimed the seventh position in the First League. This year, Yunist have had only three matches: they defeated Bahira 3-1, suffered a 0-10 thrashing at the hands of Dnpro-1 away, and beat Kobra 5-2 at home. The Miners’ opponents are sitting in the sixth spot in the table, having a few more games in hand. The top scorer is Valeriia Yanenko (three goals).
