The score of the match of the 17th round of the Ukrainian championship between Lutsk "Volyn" and Zaporizhzhia "Metalurh" could have been fixed. Recall that the duel between the teams, which took place last Sunday, ended with a minimal victory for the Zaporizhzhia side - 0:1.
As reported by the TV program "Gol!", on the eve of the match the leading bookmakers "Marathon", "Pari Match" and "Favorit" first greatly lowered the odds of "Metalurh" winning the match (even though "Volyn" was considered the favorite in the duel), and then stopped accepting bets on this match altogether.
One of the representatives of "Favorit" explained the situation as follows: a very large bet was placed in Zaporizhzhia on "Metalurh" winning, thereby it can be assumed that the result of the match could have been fixed.
