"Kharkiv" started the season with a minimal victory over "Veres" (1:0), followed by defeats to "Polissya" (1:3) and "Shakhtar" (0:1). If the loss against "Polissya" was due to the game, then Bartulovich's wards could have taken points from the Donetsk team.

Although the match against "Shakhtar" was lost, it added confidence to the Kharkiv team players. They started literally crushing opponents in the following matches. First, an amateur team "Kalynivka" suffered in the Ukrainian Cup (9:0), then "Zorya" (3:0) and "Obolon" (5:0) in the UPL.

The 6th round match against "Kryvbas" did not take place due to prolonged air raid alert in Kryvyi Rih. In the Ukrainian Cup, "Kharkiv" defeated the First League team "Prykarpattia" (2:0) and advanced to the tournament's round of 16, where they will play against the amateur team "Mayak."

Bukovyna News

"Bukovyna" secured its first victory in the UPL only in the fourth round after returning to the league. The first three matches for Chernivtsi ended even without scoring goals. Initially, there were goalless draws 0:0 with "LNZ" and "Obolonnia." In the third round, the Chernivtsi team lost to "Karpaty" 0:3.

Bukovyna broke through in the Ukrainian Cup, where they defeated Ternopil's "Niva" (4:0). Next was an unexpected victory over "Dynamo" (3:0) in the championship. Of course, mistakes by Vyacheslav Surkis helped Bukovyna, but the contribution of the Bukovyna players should not be underestimated.

In the fifth round, Shyshchenko's team looked better than "Epicenter" (0:0), but Fedotov's confident play prevented Bukovyna from scoring. Against "Zorya" (1:1), the Chernivtsi team also dominated, but failed to turn the advantage into a victory.

Against "LNZ" in the Ukrainian Cup, the Chernivtsi team did not have an advantage in the game, but they had chances to score and snatch a victory. The fate of the match was decided in a penalty shootout, where Shyshchenko's wards failed to convert any of the three shots. The successes of previous seasons in the Cup did not materialize, so they need to prove themselves in the UPL.
