Match build-up

Shakhtar have 2 wins and 2 losses in 4 opening matches of the league and are currently in 9th spot in the UPL table with 6 points (goal difference: 9–5). Herewith, the Miners have a game in hand because the match of the previous round against Kryvbas was interrupted in the 50th minute when the score was 1-0 in favour of the Pitmen due to a long air raid alert in Kryvyi Rih.

During September international break, 10 Shakhtar footballers played for their national and youth teams and returned to the club on Thursday. Meanwhile, the team coached by Marino Pusic have been preparing for the game in Lviv since the beginning of the week without internationals.
