This is a pick based on team news and lineups announced for the game.

Minaj is going into the match with a much reshuffled pack once again - they have been highly inconsistent with their starting XI through the campaign, which is no surprise as they had learned they would be taking part in the Premier League 1 week (!) before it launched. Back then Minaj, despite being officially relegated at the end of last season, were allowed to stay up as Olimpik Donetsk called it a day and went bankrupt.

So as a result, Minaj went into the competition without any proper starting lineup and were left making a team on the run. Against all odds, they actually did quite well in this pursuit and definitely earned more points than they were expected to.

Today Minaj is changing the lineup a lot in comparison to the game against Shakhtar Donetsk, which they shockingly drew 1-1. Strikers Bilonog and Akhmadzada are not even on the bench and the team is starting with 3rd and 4th choice forwards Kovalenko and Vishneskiy.

As the team is mainly focused on breaking opponents football rather than scoring themselves, holding them as -0.5 favourites is a really bold call by the BJ Lottery.

Odessa is improving both their squad and their gameplay, on the other hand. Today they are introducing another Dynamo Kyiv loanee Vantukh - he was a regular for mid-table side Oleksandria last season. Then there is World U20 champion Tsitaishvili, also starting today. Centre-mid Kadiri on loan from Kyiv, former Arsenal Tula starter in the Russian Premier League. This side is beginning to look more interesting with this setup and should be good enough to give it a proper fight for points.

这是一个基于球队新闻和阵容宣布的比赛选择。

米奈将带着重新洗牌的阵容参加比赛——他们在整个赛季中都与首发阵容极不一致，这并不令人惊讶，因为他们在联赛开始前1周就知道他们将参加联赛。当时，尽管米奈在上个赛季末被正式降级，但在顿涅茨克队宣布破产后，米奈被允许继续比赛。

因此，米奈在没有任何合适的首发阵容的情况下进入了比赛，让球队疲于奔命。尽管困难重重，但他们在这方面确实做得很好，而且肯定比预期得多。

今天米奈在阵容上做了很大的改变，与1-1战平的顿涅茨克矿工的比赛相比。前锋比洛诺格和阿赫马德扎达甚至不在板凳上，球队的首发阵容是3号和4号前锋科瓦连科和维什内斯基。

另一方面，敖德萨正在改善他们的阵容和玩法。今天他们引进了基辅迪纳摩的另一位租借者万图克——上赛季他是中排球队奥莱克桑德里亚的常客。还有20岁以下世界锦标赛冠军齐塔伊什维利。卡迪里从基辅租借而来，他是前图拉兵工厂队在俄罗斯超级联赛的首发。
