Ihor Arkhypenko’s team will be visiting Odesa for the first time this season. This upcoming match will be the second face-off between the teams in the current championship. In their first encounter, Oleksandr Bobkin’s team secured a convincing victory over Kryzhynka team in Kyiv.

However, Storm-Odesa’s winning streak was halted thereafter. In their recent four matches, the opposing team managed to secure a victory only once, defeating Dnipro from Kherson in their home arena. As a result, the team from Odesa currently holds the third position in the championship standings.

On the other hand, Kryzhynka is still struggling to find their form and is facing significant roster challenges.

Undoubtedly, the home team is the favorite for the upcoming match before the championship break. Nevertheless, the Kyiv team will once again attempt to showcase the skills against a more seasoned and evenly matched opponent.

It’s worth mentioning that following this round, the top position will be occupied by Kyiv Capitals, who triumphed over Dnipro. Additionally, in another match scheduled for Saturday, Kremenchuk will be hosting Sokil.
