Vorskla vs Shakhtar Donetsk. Will the Pitmen achieve a golden double?
On May 15 as part of the Ukrainian Cup final, at the Avangard arena (Rivne), the teams of Vorskla and Shakhtar Donetsk will compete.
Vorskla lacks stars from heaven, while the history of the Poltava team has enough memorable moments. In the 2009 competition, the Vorsk team won the only Ukrainian Cup in its history. The Green-Whites made it to the final one more time (2020), however, they were left without a trophy. Now Vorskla is not acting in the best way, the team is all about the cup finals, which is why it has five defeats in a row. But in the semi-finals of the Cup, Sergei Dolgansky’s boys won an important victory over Polesie 1:0 on his field.
Last weekend, Vorskla played a controversial match, losing to Minaj 2:3, although it won 2:0 during the match. After 28 rounds of the UPL, the Poltava team has 30 points and is in 11th place.
Shakhtar Donetsk
The miner works every year to replenish his collection of trophies; the Orange-and-Blacks have thirteen national Cups alone. At the same time, the team won the last Cup back in 2019, so it makes sense to interrupt the negative trend. Now Marino Pusic's guys are in good shape, the team has not known defeat for 14 meetings. In the semi-final match, the Pitmen showed their class, defeating Chernomorets 4:1. Sudakov (double), Sikan and Bondarenko scored goals for the Donetsk team.
Last weekend the Donetsk team won their 15th Ukrainian championship title. The decisive victory was the victory over the main rival, Dynamo Kyiv 1:0. After 28 rounds the club has 70 points, they are beyond the reach of their pursuers.
