Patrick van Leeuwen prepares his squad for another pre-season test as "Kryvbas" Kryvyi Rih will take on Turkish side "Goztepe" in a friendly match this Wednesday, July 16, in Radomlje, Slovenia.
The Ukrainian Premier League outfit continues its preparation for the upcoming season with this meeting against the Turkish team that finished 8th in a 19-team Turkish championship during the 2024/25 campaign.
Kick-off is scheduled for 18:30 Kyiv time, giving fans of the "red and whites" another chance to evaluate their team's progress during the summer training camp.
By the way, this match serves as a warm-up before an even more challenging test. The Ukrainian side will face Croatian powerhouse "Dinamo" Zagreb just three days later, on Saturday, July 19.
Can van Leeuwen's tactical preparations against the mid-table Turkish side provide the necessary foundation before facing the Croatian champions? The friendly tournaments continue to shape up what could be a telling pre-season for the Kryvyi Rih club.
