Shakhtar youth team are to play the away match against their Inhulets counterparts

May 12, Volodymyrivka, O. Porovozniuk Stadium, 13:00

Match build-up

Oskar Ratulutra’s team are in the third spot, having earned 56 points in 25 rounds (goal difference: 58-16). Clash with Inhulets U19 will be the second away game in a row because the Miners played in Oleksandriia in the last round and secured a victory there. An interesting fact that defender Marian Faryna scored for the third time in the season (all goals were scored after corner kicks). Kristian Bako (disqualification) and Yevhenii Garmash (joined Ukraine U16) will not play in this match in addition to the injured Shakhtar U19 players.
Matches on Inhulets field are very tough, so we understand the opponents’ approach to our team
Anton Hlushchenko, midfielder:

– Matches on Inhulets field are very tough, so we understand the opponents’ approach to our team. We are currently in a great mood because we managed to win in the previous rounds and we want to increase this streak wis a victory against Inhulets.

Opponents

In this season, Inhulets U19 are in the bottom part of the table, being currently ahead of Minaj U19 (15th spot, 15 points, goal difference: 18-59) and approaching meeting with the Miners with 6-match winless run – the last time the opponents won was on April 13 (Kolos U19, 1-0). Ihor Khomenko’s side lost to Rukh U19 (1-6) in the previous encounter, with Ivan Sviripa being sent off, so he will not take the filed in the match against Shakhtar U19.
