The Kyiv football clubs are gearing up for their upcoming matches, which promise to be crucial in the context of the fourth round of the Ukrainian Premier League, taking place from August 29 to 31. Both matches involving «Dynamo» and «Obolon» deserve special attention.

«KRYVBAS» — «OBOLON»

Where: Kryvyi Rih, «Hirnyk» Stadium

When: August 30 (Saturday), 13:00

In the previous rounds, «Obolon» surprised everyone, not suffering any defeats despite facing strong opponents. The players delighted fans with stunning goals, particularly standout Sergiy Sukhanov.

Now, «Obolon» faces an away match against ambitious «Kryvbas». Patrick van Leeuwen is building a new team that confidently handled past rivals but stumbled against «Koloss».

The main question is: can «Obolon» continue its unbeaten streak? It could be challenging this time due to the injury of their key goalkeeper, Denys Marchenko.

«DYNAMO» — «POLISSYA»

Where: Kyiv, «Dynamo» Stadium named after Valeriy Lobanovskyi

When: August 31 (Sunday), 15:30

This match is expected to be the highlight of the round. No other match will have such a concentration of skilled players and coaches on the field. Both teams played in European competitions and were eliminated from their respective tournaments, so they will have equal conditions concerning logistics and physical readiness. None of the players are suspended.

It's also worth noting that «Polissya» has players who once defended the colors of the Kyiv team, giving them something to prove. Moreover, Ruslan Rotan was once a Dynamo player himself.
