Vladyslav Lupashko has chosen Domchak to guard the posts as "Karpaty" Lviv prepares to host "Polissya" Zhytomyr in the first round of the Ukrainian Premier League. The Lviv coach also positioned Karabin on the right side of the attack for the upcoming clash at Ukraine Stadium.
Ruslan Rotan, who recently guided his team to a convincing 4:1 victory over Andorra's Santa Coloma, has made several key selections for the visitors. Kravchenko will start on the right flank of defense, while Talles and Liedniev will control the midfield area, with Haiduchyk spearheading the attack.
"Karpaty" will line up with Domchak in goal; Polehenko, Baboglo, Pedroso, and Miroshnichenko forming the defensive line; Chachua, Alvarez, and Bruninyo in midfield; while Karabin, Krasnopir, and Kostenko will lead the offensive efforts.
By the way, the visitors from Zhytomyr will counter with Kudryk between the posts, defended by Kravchenko, Chobotenko, Sarapiy, and Mykhailichenko. Talles Costa, Babenko, and Liedniev will battle in the middle of the park, with Nazarenko, Haiduchyk, and Krushynsky forming the attacking trident.
Both teams have prepared strong benches with multiple options. Karpaty's reserves include Klishchuk, Mysak, Kyrychok, and nine others ready to make an impact if called upon.
The match kicks off at 18:00 Kyiv time. Will the Lviv side capitalize on home advantage, or can Rotan's men build on their European momentum? This opening fixture could set the tone for both clubs' campaigns in the new season.
