September 22, Shchaslyve, Kniazha Arena, 14:00
Before the match
After 8 rounds in the championship, a group of leaders was formed, which includes the Shakhtar U21 team. A week earlier, the Miners drew in Oleksandriia (0-0), currently sitting in the 5th spot with 14 points (5 points adrift of the top position). The team of Valeriy Kryventsov continue to experience certain personnel issues associated with injuries of their leading performers. The defenders Yurii Mate and Dmytro Pavlish are still injured, while Valerii Bondar and Oleksii Kaschuk have recovered just this week. We want to point out that this Wednesday, 7 players took part in the UEFA Youth League match against Hoffenheim U19: Yukhym Konoplia, Nazarii Muravskyi, Maksym Chekh, Dmytro Kryskiv, Mykhailo Mudryk and the goalscorer Andrii Kulakov appeared in the starting lineup, with Artem Holod taking to the field in the second half.
Opponents
In 8 opening meetings, Chornomorets scored 7 points, currently sitting in the 10th spot in the table (goal difference of 10-17). Interestingly, the Odessans claimed all their points at home, including their recent draw with Dynamo Kyiv (3-3). At the same time, Albert Kovalyov’s boys have suffered 4 consecutive away defeats. In the past round, the Sailors have suffered their first home defeat, losing to Lviv (0-2). The most prolific footballer in the team is Mykhailo Plokhotnyuk (3 goals).
Head-to-head record
In the U21 league, the teams had 27 encounters: Shakhtar proved stronger on 16 occasions, Chornomorets have 5 wins, alongside 6 draws. The goal difference is 60-31 in favour of the Miners.
