On April 10, the 13th round of matches in the second league will resume after a five-month break with "Sambir-Niva-2" vs. "Real-Farma" and "Vorskla-2" vs. "Metalist 1925-2."

Without a doubt, the highlight of the current tournament will be the fierce competition among those seeking to advance in class.

In Group A, as early as tomorrow, two of them, "Kulikiv-Bilka" and "Probiy," will settle their relations. The teams have productively completed their preparatory period and worked qualitatively on the transfer market. Halychans have strengthened their ranks with players who have experience in the first league (Kobak, Kvasnyi, Volkov, Dudarenko), while Zakarpattians have recruited experienced Palagnyuk, Bukovyna's long-term top scorer, and Semotyuk from "Krivbas." However, the main thing is that FC Probiy's manager Volodymyr Kovalku managed to keep in his team the attack leader Orinchuk.

The match between two more contenders for places in the top group, "Ruh-2" and "Skala 1911," scheduled for Vinnyky, also raises interest. Lvivans may have lost several key players, but they aim to perform no worse than in the first half of the season, while Striy's club management has high hopes on their new head coach Roman Hnatyv. Above all, it is about stabilizing play, which should help achieve ambitious plans.

There remains intrigue even in the rivalry of teams from Group B, although the leader "Kolos-2" has pulled away significantly from its pursuers. However, Kolos' ranks have lost key half-back Khartyn, and it is still difficult to say whether a worthy replacement for him has been found. On the final stretch, Volodymyr Bondarenko's wards will face challenges primarily from players of "Oleksandria-2" and "Chernihiv."
