On April 6, the spring season of the second league begins. Recall that the winners of the group tournaments immediately rise in the class, and the teams that finish second will meet in the transitional matches with the clubs, which occupy 13th and 14th place in the first division.

Thus, it is possible to envisage a sharp struggle both among the leaders and among the participants who will try to stay in professional football. High level of readiness for new tests in group "A" was shown by the favorites - "Minai" and "Polissya". Transcarpathians proved themselves well in the final sparring matches in neighboring Hungary, and Polissya did not lose in the control matches to the elite "Dynamo" and "Desna".

The last rookie of "Minaya" became the stopper Oleg Dmitrenko who earlier acted for the first-league "Nikolaev". Instead, assistant head coach Oleksiy Polyanskyi and central defender Maksym Mynaylenko left the team. By the way, Igor Kharkovshchenko's wards have a certain advantage over Polissya, which due to the reconstruction of the stadium in Zhytomyr will have to host rivals not at home, in particular, on Saturday they will play with Ternopil's Niva in Shchaslyvy, not far from Kyiv.

But another contender for a place under the sun, "Heather", due to the inattention of their coaches, who made a mistake with the number of substitutions in the match with "Seagull", not only punished by technical defeat, but also due to improper behavior of fans will have to play on April 6 Cherkasy Academy "in the empty stands.

Vinnytsia's Niva, which will host Chaika on the artificial turf of the sports complex of the same name, was also quite surprised, because the field of the central city stadium is not yet ready for spring battles.

As we expected, the new president of FC Bukovyna, Vadym Zayats, took care of returning to the team of performers who performed under his leadership when he was the head coach. We are talking about experienced Oleg Kerch and Alexander Vechtomov. With their appearance, Bukovinians in sparring began to defend much better. Stopper Andriy Husin, who defended the colors of Polissya last fall, will again play for the Chernivtsi team. Mark Medvedev, who previously defended Zirka's goal (Kropyvnytskyi), and forward Yaroslav Galenko, known for his performances for Sumy, also worked at Bukovyna.

When it comes to group B, it is important that all participants continue to perform, although for a long time the future of Tavria-Simferopol has caused serious concern. But it seems that the worst for Serhiy Shevchenko's wards is over. The team completely renewed the lineup and held the last control matches quite confidently, in particular, played a draw (1: 1) with "Crystal", which is eager to rise in the class. By the way, the last acquisition of Kherson was the goalkeeper Yaroslav Gerasimenko, who previously played for the youth team of Luhansk "Zorya".
