Shakhtar are to play Dnipro-1 away in the postponed match of the Youth League round 14

December 5, Lviv, NTB Rukh, 11:00

Match build-up

Shakhtar approach the game in good spirits after the win over Inhulets (6-0). Oskar Ratulutra’s side continue to take part in the championship leader race in despite of the 4th spot. We remind that the Miners have 4 matches in hand with 26 points (goal difference: 34-7). In the first round, the Orange-and-Blacks come with the best defence and the best striker – Pohorilyi scored 15 goals together with a hat-trick against Inhulets. Denys Tvardovskyi will not be able to help his teammates in the match due to a hand injury during the training session.

Opponents


Dnipro-1 are in the middle of the table this season. Hennadii Shchekotylin’s lads have 5 wins, 1 draw and 7 defeats in 13 matches, sharing 9th spot with Kryvbas with 16 points (goal difference: 17-23) and 2 games in reserve. We want to point out that the opponents suffer from series of misfortunes including 3 losses in a row; Dnipro-1’s last win was in the MD11 match against Minaj.

Match background
