This could be an interesting match as Mariupol have their presumed home advantage while Shakhtar Donetsk are ahead 26 points in the Premier League table.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Mariupol form and stats

When playing at home in the Premier League, Mariupol have managed 3 wins, 3 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 8 games.

The fans are hoping that Mariupol will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-3 away loss in the Premier League game against Dynamo Kyiv (placed 2nd). The points were shared before that, a home game that ended 2-2 versus Karpaty.

The Mariupol fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 8 matches. On the other hand, Mariupol have conceded 10 goals.

Shakhtar Donetsk form and stats

The away performances of Shakhtar Donetsk, who have the most scored goals (45) in Premier League, have been very solid so far with 7 wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats in the Premier League. The question is whether this happy travelling can continue. Long winning streaks away are a rare occurrence in football, which only makes Shakhtar Donetsk's record of seven away victories in a row even more impressive. They last lost points away in the Oleksandria game.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Manchester City in their previous outing. The Champions League match ended in a draw 1-1. Before that, Shakhtar Donetsk secured a home win against Lviv with the score 4-1.

With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Shakhtar Donetsk are regular goalscorers on their travels. Shakhtar Donetsk are tighter than a frog's bottom, as only 3 away goals have been conceded so far.

Head 2 Head

The two sides played each other earlier this season: Mariupol - Shakhtar Donetsk 1-1. Last ten meetings between the teams: Mariupol won 0, Shakhtar Donetsk won 9 and 1 draw. 6 games with over 2,5 goals, 4 matches with two goals or less.
