Before the match
 
The Miners started the season with 6 wins in a row, but they did not score enough points in the previous 2 rounds after drawing with Desna (0-0) and losing to Vorskla (1-3). Currently, the team of Fernando Valente have 19 points, being in the top three. The Shakhtar defence remains the best: with 17 goals scored, they conceded only 7 goals.
 
The main reason behind the latest results was a busy schedule because many players are also involved in games for Shakhtar U19 in the UEFA Youth League. For example, this week, they had an away meeting with Atalanta (2-2), with as many as 9 Shakhtar U21 players involved.
