This game is of a major competitive significance for the sides - after 18 rounds, the Miners have the third position (34 points, goal difference 33-20), with Oleksandriia sitting in the second spot with 41 points.
Shakhtar U21 team held their pre-season training in Turkish Belek, where they played 9 friendlies vs senior sides (4 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats). Oleksii Kaschuk and Andrii Kulakov were the most prolific players on the camp, netting 3 goals each. The latter tops the league’s goal-scoring race with 9 goals.
This week, the Orange-and-Blacks have trained in Shchaslyve, getting used to the climate and synthetic pitch. Personnel news wise, we want to mention that defender Valerii Bondar joined the senior team this winter, with U19 midfielder Andrii Apanchuk moving to the U21 outfit.

In the winter, the Yellow-Blacks trained in their hometown and held 4 friendlies vs the First League clubs, getting 2 wins and 2 defeats.
