Chornomorets Odesa will host Oleksandriya in the final round of the Ukrainian Premier League at the Chornomorets Stadium, with both teams making strategic lineup adjustments following their recent performances.
Chornomorets manager Oleksandr Kucher has opted to start Zharzha and Kysil in defense after his team's 1-1 draw against Dynamo Kyiv, while Gabelok will operate in midfield. The home side's starting eleven includes Rudko in goal, with Butko, Zharzha, Yermakov, Rakitskyi, and Kysil forming the defensive line. Kogut, Sigeev, and Gabelok will control the midfield, while Khoblenko and K. Popov lead the attack.
Oleksandriya's coach Ruslan Rotan, coming off a 3-1 victory against Veres Rivne, has included Loginov in central defense for this crucial fixture. His midfield trio consists of Buletsa, Kaliuzhnyi, and Shostak, with Kulakov spearheading the offensive line. Yermakov starts in goal behind a defensive unit of Skorko, Loginov, Shabanov, and Martyniuk, while Kozak and Tsara complete the attacking formation alongside Kulakov.
According to tactical analysis from Statbet, this final round matchup presents an interesting contrast between Chornomorets' defense-minded approach and Oleksandriya's more fluid attacking system that proved effective against Veres.
Chornomorets has several options on the bench, including Vichnyi, Aniagboso, Latsabidze, Kratov, Mustafayev, Rice, Panchyshyn, Yanakov, Bezborodko, and Pshenychniuk, giving Kucher multiple tactical possibilities as the match progresses.
