Bukovyna and Kolos set for first UPL meeting
The 12th-round fixture will mark the clubs’ first head-to-head encounter in Ukraine’s top division. Both sides enter the match with notable runs and potential milestones in view.
Bukovyna and Kolos are due to face each other for the first time in the Ukrainian Premier League in their Matchday 12 contest. Viktor Kopiyevskyi, who has refereed 92 UPL games, has been assigned to the fixture.
The Ukrainian Premier League reported the statistical preview on Saturday, November 7, via upl.ua. Bukovyna are winless in six league matches, recording four draws and two defeats, while their three consecutive home draws constitute a club championship record.
Kolos have gone five UPL games without a draw, winning three and losing two. Head coach Ruslan Kostyshyn could oversee his 130th top-level match with the club and register his 50th victory.
Several players may also reach landmarks: Vyacheslav Tankovskyi is one appearance short of 150 UPL games, while Nika Gagnidze could make his 50th. The teams’ previous match in Chernivtsi came in the First League on November 20, 2016, when Kolos won 3-2.
