Match build-up

Shakhtar U19 continue the title race in the Youth League and reduced the gap from the leaders of the championship to 2 points thanks to the victory over Chornomorets U19 (2:1) in the postponed match of the first stage. Oleksii Bielik's side defeated Rukh U19 (2-1), Minaj U19 (3-2) and Kolos U19 (2-0) in the previous matches. It is interesting that the Orange-and-Blacks show excellent results at home and lost in August 2023 to Oleksandriia U19 (0-1) last time. It should be noted that midfielders Evhenii Yanovych and Vasyl Bundash will miss the match against Chornomorets U19 due to disqualification.

Opponents

Chornomorets U19 scored 21 points in 26 matches and are sitting in the 14th spot in the table (5 wins, 6 draws and 15 losses, goal difference: 20–40). Losing to the Miners (1-2) in the middle of the week, the Odessa outfit extended their winless streak to 7 matches. In away meetings, Chornomorets U19 scored only 8 points out of 39 possible: victory over LNZ U19 (3-0) and Metalist 1925 U19 (2-1), draw with Oleksandriia U19 (0-0) and Obolon U19 (1-1). The best scorer is Oleksandr Ratushniak (4 goals in 19 matches).

Match background

Shakhtar U19 and Chornomorets U19 met 16 times in the Youth League: 13 wins of the Pitmen, 2 draws and 1 win of Chornomorets (goal difference: 39–12).

Previous meeting

The opponents played in Odessa on April 30, 2024. The Miners started on top and quickly took the lead through Losenko's penalty kick. In the 31st minute, the Pitmen doubled their advantage: Yushchenko passed to Demchenko who gave it to Kniazev to finish it off. Before the break, the Miners remained in ten: Bundash got a second booking and was sent off. In the second half, Chornomorets U19 reduced the gap thanks to a mistake by Oharkov, who sliced the ball into his own goal. The Odesa-based side gradually took the initiative and pushed the ball forward, but the Miners acted reliably in defence and kept the winning score. 2-1 – Shakhtar U19’s victory.
