The season is still fairly new and the Premier League table has to be read with caution. So far Shakhtar Donetsk find themselves in 4th position and Lviv are placed 14th.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
These teams have little in common geographically as Lviv have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Shakhtar Donetsk form and stats
As mentioned below, Shakhtar Donetsk are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 Premier League games.
Shakhtar manager L. Ribeiro de Castro and his team return home after a 2-2 draw away versus Desna (placed 5th) in the Premier League. Before that, Shakhtar Donetsk had a home game versus Olimpik Donetsk which ended with a victory 2-0.
Shakhtar Donetsk has scored 5 goals so far and conceded 1 goal from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Lviv form and stats
The Premier League season is young and Lviv, who have the fewest scored goals (1) in Premier League, have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far.
Lviv aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 208 league minutes without a goal. M. Čelić was the last player to find the net.
Lviv has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Rukh Vynnyky for a Premier League game that ended a draw (0-0). A 0-2 defeat away at Vorskla before that.
Lviv are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 1 goal from 3 away games. For Lviv, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
