In the U21 League round 5, Shakhtar U21 will play Mariupol U21

August 22, Shchaslyve, Kniazha Arena, 15:00
The game to be aired live on the official YouTube channel

Before the match
 
The Miners collected 4 wins in 4 starting rounds, currently topping the league table (12 points, goal difference of 10-4). At the same time, all the encounters turned out to be tense for Fernando Valente’s lads. Last Saturday, the Orange-and-Blacks secured a two-goal lead over Lviv even before the break (through goals by Oleh Ocheretko and Andrii Boriachuk), but the second half took them much effort to keep the winning score (2-1). Shakhtar U21 are preparing for the match vs Mariupol in full force (with the exception of the recovering Bohdan Viunnyk and Andrii Chyruk). We want to point out that the team’s unbeaten run has lasted for 10 matches now.
  
Opponents
 
Mariupol U21 experienced the change of coach in the summer (instead of Henadii Orbu, Oleksii Hetman took charge of the Azov outfit), with the replacement not bringing the desired result yet: in 3 matches, they suffered 3 defeats at an aggregate goal difference of 1–9 and the bottom spot in the table. The Sailors suffered a major away defeat at the hands of Kolos (1-4) and Karpaty (0-4), they also lost narrowly to Oleksandriia (0-1), with the round 4 encounter with Dynamo being postponed to September. We want to add that in the encounter with the Miners, a suspended defender Dmytro Shynkarenko will not be able to benefit Mariupol.
 
Head-to-head record
 
Shakhtar U21 and Mariupol U21 have had 26 encounters. The Miners proved stronger on 16 occasions, with the Azov side having 4 victories, alongside 6 draws. The aggregate goal difference is 60–24 in favour of the Orange-and-Blacks who also won both legs last season (3-0 in Shchaslyve and 2-1 in Mariupol).
