Preview
Before the match
Shakhtar met with Veres twice in different tournaments over four days. The Ukrainian League last 8 tie is the knockout one: the current trophy holders need to prove their superiority in order to compete for their participation in the final next year.
Yesterday, the Orange-and-Blacks exercised at the Viktor Bannikov training facility. Paulo Fonseca’s men honed set pieces with shooting at goal and worked on tactics. Because of the injury received in the game vs Olimpik, Taison will miss the encounter with Veres.
Opponents
Veres started their Ukrainian Cup campaign from the third qualifying round, in which they defeated Agrobiznes 2-1 in extra time. In the Round of 16, the first-half precision shot by Yevhen Morozenko brought the Rivne side a narrow win over Arsenal-Kyiv.
The team of Yurii Virt approaches the game in good shape. In the autumn, Veres were second to none: taking into account the Cup games, they have 5 wins and 7 draws. In the previous meeting, the Red-and-Blacks suffered a defeat at the hands of Shakhtar on August 27.
Head-to-head record
The opponents will meet in the Ukrainian Cup for the first time. In the championship, Shakhtar proved stronger on 5 occasions, with Veres having one draw and one win.
