The season has been strenuous for Lviv up to now, while Shakhtar Donetsk have won many games. Will the visiting team claim three points at Stadion Ukrajina?
- Lviv have the the worst goal difference (-18) in Premier League
- Shakhtar Donetsk have the most scored goals (48) in Premier League
It's quite the trip for Shakhtar Donetsk when visiting Lviv as the cities are 1000 kilometers apart.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Lviv and Shakhtar Donetsk.
Lviv form and stats
Lviv's results here at Stadion Ukrajina in the Premier League have been very modest with 2 victories, 2 draws and 5 defeats.
No payout for Lviv in their previous match, an away game at Dnipro-1 that ended in defeat 2-5. A goal frenzy last time out for Lviv, with a total of 7 goals in the match against Dnipro-1. Fun stuff to watch!
Preceding that match was the home game against Dynamo Kyiv that was lost 0-2.The home team are doomed in this game if you believe the odds offered on Shakhtar Donetsk to win. Let's see if Lviv are capable of creating a surprise here by looking at their earlier home games as massive outsiders: 7 games found revealing 2 Lviv wins, 0 draws and 5 defeats.
Lviv are traveling soon after this match as the Premier League match at Shakhtar Donetsk awaits in four days.
Lviv have conceded 16 from these games. When Lviv hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Rukh Vynnyky, Minai, Chornomorets, Metal Kharkiv and Veres), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 2 of 3 times.
Shakhtar Donetsk form and stats
Shakhtar Donetsk have an excellent away record in the Premier League so far with 6-1-1 from 8 games.
Shakhtar won their last game, 1-0 versus Metal Kharkiv played at home.
Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Chornomorets that ended 2-2.As mentioned earlier, Shakhtar Donetsk will not be satisfied unless they get a comfortable victory in this game. Performing as huge favourites away from home has earlier resulted in 10 wins (8 by two or more goals winning margin), 2 draws and 2 surprising defeats.
Observe that 13 of this team's 16 most recent league games have ended with three or more goals.
A new game in only four days for Shakhtar Donetsk, the Premier League home match versus Lviv. Busy days.
The Shakhtar Donetsk manager Jovičević has seen his team go crazy on the road this season, having scored 26 goals in 8 league matches away. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (6 so far).
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the previous ten meetings involving these two squads are: one win for Lviv, one draw and eight wins for Shakhtar Donetsk. Over 2,5 goals: seven times; under 2,5 goals: three games.
