On Sunday, December 7, an exciting match of the 15th round of the Ukrainian Premier League will take place, where the football club "Kryvbas" from Kryvyi Rih will host the team "Alexandria". The match will be held at the home stadium "Hirnyk", starting at 13:00.
"Kryvbas," under the guidance of a new coach, does not look as expected. The team, which was among the leaders in the standings, has lost form and currently holds the 7th place. However, in case of victory, it could rise to 4th place, surpassing "Koloss," "Dynamo," and "Zorya." In the previous match, "Kryvbas" had the lead twice against "Shakhtar," but could not maintain their advantage until the final whistle.
In the squad of "Kryvbas," particular attention is drawn to the absence of key player Mendoza, which is likely related to a possible transfer to "Dynamo." No official comments on this matter have been received.
Situation in the "Alexandria" team
"Alexandria," on the contrary, is going through a tough time. After a successful season last year, the team currently occupies the second-to-last position in the table and is fighting for survival. Under the guidance of new coach Kyrylo Nesterенko, the team continues to search for its style of play. If "Alexandria" does not achieve victory in the next match, a reshuffle of the coaching staff is possible, and Volodymyr Sharan, the former coach of "Alexandria-2," may be invited to this position.
"Alexandria" has been showing unstable results lately. The players, in particular, are facing issues with the lineup, as several key players are injured and new faces are stepping onto the field, about whom little is known.
Match history and predictions
The history of personal meetings between "Kryvbas" and "Alexandria" indicates a slight advantage for the team from Alexandria, with 5 victories in 13 matches against 4 losses. However, considering the current form of both teams, the predictions for the match are ambiguous.
Experts believe that "Kryvbas" is the favorite in this encounter, but both teams have the opportunity to demonstrate a high level of play and possibly score more than 2.5 goals in the match.
Previously, "Kryvbas" confirmed that it is preparing not only for the match against "Alexandria" but also for the following duel with "Koloss," scheduled for December 13.
Will "Kryvbas" be able to bring a festive mood to its fans by winning both of these matches? We will find out the answer very soon!
