Second League. Favorites Want to Keep the Leaders, and FC "Real Pharma" Is Experiencing a Personnel Revolution

Third-tier clubs are still on break and plan to resume training in mid-February. The exception is «Rukh-2» and «Skala 1911», which intend to start preparing for new challenges at the end of January. Striyana has yet to decide who will permanently lead the team.

Group A leader, «Rukh-2», which outperforms «Probiv» by additional indicators, will likely face player losses. After a group of players left the main team, they are most likely replaced by top performers from the second team and youth squad. However, Lvivians are determined.

&Laquo;Probiv», which managed to retain its leading scorer, Bohdan Orinchak, who confidently leads among goal scorers, also shows a desire to rise in class. Artem Krekhovetskyi, Vitaliy Parhuts, Stanislav Vasylenko, Roman Dytko, and Eduard Klyuchko will no longer play for the Gorodnytskiy team. Coach Volodymyr Kovalyuk plans to strengthen with three or four new signings.

Another newcomer in the second league, «Kulykivka-Bilky», also has ambitious plans. Halychans hope that experienced Nikolai Kvasnyi and Danylo Volkov, who previously played for first-division «Agrobiznes», will help them.

It seems that the outsider, FC «Real Pharma», cannot avoid a player revolution as 11 players have already left their ranks. Club management hopes that incoming performers will quickly help climb out of the basement.

In Group B, there is a sole leader — «Kolos-2». Unlike «Rukh-2» and «Probiv», the core of the Kovalyvskaya team consists of veterans of Ukrainian football. Although the black-and-whites have already suffered a significant loss: former national team player Igor Khartyn intends to continue his career with «Veres». &Laquo;Kolos-2» wants to challenge players from «Oleksandria-2», especially since the “city-dwellers” can rely on support from their main team.
