Before the match
 
Shakhtar U21 are among the top three sides who are likely to compete for gold medals this season. Currently, the Miners have 35 points, being 3 points adrift of Vorskla, but still having a game in hand. The team of Fernando Valente are quite effective offensively (33 goals scored) and the most reliable defensively (a total of 13 goals conceded). It is worth noting that the Orange-and-Blacks have not played in the recent league round, however, many footballers got some match workload this Wednesday through participation in the UEFA Youth League with Shakhtar U19.

For example, in the past round, Volodymyr Mikitin’s young men tied 1-1 with Dynamo U21. At home, Zorya U21 have even proved stronger in the last 5 games having a total goal difference of 17–4.
