Match build-up

Shakhtar U19 started the October cycle with the defeat by Atalanta U19 (0-3) in the UEFA Youth League. The Miners continue to perform with a tight calendar and approach the match against LNZ U19 in the 3rd spot of the table with 22 points (7 wins and 1 draw, goal difference: 21–4). In the previous rounds, the Orange-and-Blacks claimed victories over Veres U19 (2-1) and Karpaty U19 (2-1), and also shared points with Obolon U19 (0-0). Head coach Oleksii Bielik and defenders Mykola Oharkov and Valentyn Halonskyi will skip the game against LNZ U19 due to suspension.

Opponents

There were changes in the coaching staff of LNZ U19 during the summer pre-season: Oleksandr Kyryliuk was replaced by Artem Chornii, who previously worked at the LNZ Academy and reached the DUFLU Last 8 together with U15 age category.

The start of the new season was rather unsuccessful for Chornii’s team: LNZ U19 have only 3 points after 8 matches (1 win and 7 losses) and the worst defence in the league (goal difference: 3–38). The victory over Chornomorets U19 (3-2) in the previous round broke a streak of 10 losses. It should be noted that the last time LNZ U19 won away was at the beginning of May this year.

Match background

The Miners claimed 2 victories in 2 previous meetings in the Youth League (goal difference: 7–2).

Previous match

On April 25, the opponents met in Lebedyn. The Miners started the game actively and opened the scoring already in the 15th minute, when Tiutiunov completed the combination attack with a well-placed shot. Soon the Pitmen doubled their advantage: Harmash passed from the left corner to the penalty area, where Pushkarov turned the cross right home, breaking through from behind the opponents. Before the break, the host team responded with Shtefanko’s moment, but Maksym lacked accuracy. In the second half, the Pitmen continued controlling the game and converted their opportunities into the goals by Demchenko and Smetana. LNZ U19 managed to move away from their own net in the added time and scored a consolation goal. 4-1 – Shakhtar U19 claimed an away victory over LNZ U19.
