YKPAIHIAH Premier League 2012-13

Exact score - 4 !
Kryvbas Kryvyj Rih 1-0 Chornomorets' Odesa
Kryvbas playing to form after their away win to Vorskla make it two in row.

Hoverla Uzhhorod 1-3 Shakhtar Donets'k
Nice to pick this one up. It did not look that way after the goaless first half.
Hoverla played well in the 2nd half the week before against Chudo and were impressive
in the 2nd half. But The Miners with 2 goals in 2 minutes made sure the result was
in the bag and Seleznoiv gave me the exact result late in the game.

Tavrija Simferopol' 0-1 Metalist Kharkiv
Sosa 2nd goal of the season was good enuff for XAPKIB and for me!

Volyn' Luts'k 1-0 Vorskla Poltava
Volyn were a bit unlucky not to have taken all the points last week against
Karpaty and I figured that they are tuffer than Vorskla at the moment!

Correct margin - 1
Arsenal Kyiv 0-1 Dynamo Kyiv
I knew that Arsenal would play this game a lot better than the thrashing that they
got against The Miners. Yarmolenko super set up for Ideye Brown early in the game
was the winner - but he did miss a (weak) penalty.
Correct result - 1
Metalurh Zaporizhzhja 0-4 Dnipro Dnipropetrovs'k
There were 2 more goals than I thought. Probably thanks to Sasha Aliev with his
penalty and his purrfect pass late in the game - BUTT they way Sasha celebrates his
team's goals shows that he thinks he should still be the superstar @ Dynamo.
Got it all wrong!
Karpaty L'viv 1-5 Illichivets' Mariupol
Karpaty proved me wrong for the 2nd time this season. They really do suk! I don't
how I'll predict them in the upcoming games.

Metalurh Donets'k 1-2 Zorja Luhans'k
I was surprised that Zorya had the balls to win this one especially after MetaDon
had a blow out victory midweek in the Europa League.

And Volyn is still undefeated after 3 games this season.

 

Exact score - 1

Illichivets' Mariupol 0-1 Tavrija Simferopol'
Couldn't see Tavrija lose 3 in row. They are a much better team.

Correct margin - 1

Dynamo Kyiv 3-1 Hoverla Uzhhorod
Ideye scored two late goals to get me the margin. Hoverla continue
to play well but have nothing to show for themselves and are now bottom.

Correct result - 3

Vorskla Poltava 3-1 Karpaty L'viv
Again I thought that Karpaty would make this closer than what it really was.

Shakhtar Donets'k 1-0 Kryvbas Kryvyj Rih
Very lucky to get the result because Kryvbas should of got a draw out of this.

Dnipro Dnipropetrovs'k 2-0 Metalurh Donets'k
Metalurh now 0-3. Gave them a goal to score which they didn't. Dnipro playing
well above themselves.

Got it all wrong - 3

Chornomorets' Odesa 0-2 Volyn' Luts'k
Volyn undefeated now after 3 games. Chudo were very disappointing.

Metalist Kharkiv 1-1 Metalurh Zaporizhzhja
Kozaks nearly pulled this one out of the hat. Metalist blink first out of the
top teams.

Zorja Luhans'k 1-3 Arsenal Kyiv
The Gunners recover in a hurry.
