Match build-up

After the victory over Dnipro-1 U19 (4-1), the Miners had 4 days of rest and resumed the training process at the Academy facility in Shchaslyve on November 17. During the international break, a significant number of Shakhtar U19 players joined the main team, with Mykola Oharkov and Vladyslav Kravets helping Ukraine U19 to reach the elite round of the Euro 2024 qualification.

The Orange-and-Blacks are in the 2nd spot of the table ahead of the round (31 points, goal difference: 27-10). The match against Chornomorets U19 has been postponed, so Shakhtar U19 have a game in hand.

Opponents

Polissia U19 are playing their debut season in the U19 Championship and are currently sitting in 5th spot in the table (24 points, goal difference: 26-18). The beginning of the season turned out to be tense. Hennadii Lytovchenko's side only defeated Oleksandriia U19 (2-0) in the starting 5 meetings, sharing points with Dnipro-1 U19 (1-1) and Rukh U19 (1-1). The unbeaten streak of Polissia U19 continues since the end of September (7 matches; 5 wins and 2 draws). The best scorer is Mykhailo Rasko (10 goals in 13 meetings). It should be noted that midfielder Artem Hrokholskyi will not help the Zhytomyr-based team in the clash with the Miners due to his disqualification.
