Links to Örebro: see below on “this is how we beat them”.
Comment: It was enough to be a mid-table team to qualify for Europa League.  The Ukrainian League has a good ranking thanks to the two giants Shaktar Donetsk and Dynamo Kyiv and those two teams grabbed so many points in the league that the not so impressive record of ten wins, nine draws and eleven losses took Vorskla Poltava to Europe.  The team possess a few good players including defender Oleh Krasnopyrov and mifielder Denys Kulakov, that both have been called to the Ukraine national team, and top-scorer Vasyl Sachko, a 36-year old tall centre-tank that scored ten goals in the league.  The team has participated in the UEFA Cup/Europa League three times in this millennium, but has failed to impress.  The owner, Kostyantin Zhevago, is just one year older than the top striker and is the Ukraine’s youngest billionaire and according to Forbes ranked 488^th in terms of wealth in the world.  There is probably a good story here somewhere but it’s hard to find it without reading Russian.
This is how we beat them: Swedes return to the place which signifies the beginning of the end of the Swedish empire.  If revenge is a dish best served cold, 302 years in the fridge be just about enough.  The Swedish troops including the infantry from Närke-Värmland’s regiment based in Örebro lost the 1709 battle of Poltava to Tsar Peter I.  It’s pay back time and this time we will continue all the way to the Kremlin.
Chance of Örebro winning: At the battle of Poltava, the size of Peter’s troops where about three times that of King Charles XII’s.  It’s looking slightly better now, I give us 40%.
