The derby in Ukraine league this round is in Dnepropertovsk where Dnipro meet vice-champion Dynamo Kiev.
Dnipro on paper is third strongest team in Ukrane but last two years Mitalist Kharkov left them behind. Last summer they spend a lot of money, so during this transfer window Dnipro didn't buy any new players. Only several yound footballers went to other clubs to play more time.
Dynamo Kiev finished second last year, just two points behind Shakhtar. They bought only two players, but very important. Left defender Betao came from Santos, and Dinamo Zagreb's star Ognjen Vukojevic will play as defensive midfielder. Both of them are already in starting XI. Dynamo started with 2-0 home win over Ilichovec.
Dnipro is very hard to be beaten at home, but last years Dynamo and Shakhtar won here and take three points. It is very close game, but i think Dynamo will win here.
