Joselen Beiratche prepares for his debut in central defense as "Oleksandriia" meets Serbian side "Partizan" in the first match of the UEFA Conference League second qualifying round in Katowice.
Manager Yevheniy Kalynychenko has decided to immediately throw his new signing into the starting lineup, while fellow newcomer Mateus Amaral will lead the attack for the Ukrainian club. Not exactly easing them in, is he?
The full lineup for "Oleksandriia" features Shevchenko in goal with Skorko, Campush, Beiratche, and Ndika forming the defensive line. The midfield will consist of Kovalets, Shostak, and Myshnov, while Bezerra, Amaral, and Tsara complete the attacking trio.
Interestingly, "Partizan" arrives with their own formidable eleven, including Simich between the posts and a forward line led by J. Miloshevich alongside Kostich and Trifunovich.
The match kicks off at 8:00 PM Kyiv time with both teams looking to gain an advantage in this two-legged qualifier. Can the Ukrainian debutants make an immediate impact against their experienced Serbian opponents?
This first meeting between the teams will certainly set the tone for the return leg, with "Oleksandriia" hoping their new signings can hit the ground running in European competition.
