This promises to be another interesting encounter at Oblasny SportKomplex Metalist in the Premier League. Shakhtar Donetsk is in 2nd position and welcome Oleksandria in 10th place. Read all about the match here!

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Champions League. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Genk.

Shakhtar Donetsk form and stats

Shakhtar Donetsk have only played one Premier League game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 9 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats from 13 matches.

Happy days for Shakhtar Donetsk in their previous game, a Champions League match away at Genk that ended with a 2-1 victory. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of R. De Zerbi when Alan Patrick scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 46th minute.

Before that match, a Premier League win away at Lviv.

Shakhtar are huge favourites in this match and it would be a big surprise if they fail to leave Oblasny SportKomplex Metalist with a victory. The home side has been in this situation before, with huge expectations of a win. In their match history 13 earlier games are comparable to this one, and Shakhtar Donetsk has won 13 times, drawn zero and lost zero. Sports bettors who like handicap betting will like to know that Shakhtar Donetsk has won by at least two goals twelve times when in this position.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Shakhtar Donetsk as they have a new game in only three days, a Champions League match thankfully also at home. Genk are visiting.

Early season league goal statistics from Shakhtar Donetsk's 1 home game: 2 goals, 1 conceded.

Oleksandria form and stats

Things could have gone better for Oleksandria in their Premier League away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.

There might be some fixture complaints from Oleksandria as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Premier League match against Minai (0-1).

Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Zorya.

The visitors come into this game as huge outsiders. This role is not totally unknown to them, as they have played one away match before with similar winning odds. These games have ended with one win, zero draws and zero defeats. zero games were lost by at least two goals margin.

1 goal so far away for Oleksandria, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 1. All from 2 league matches away.

Head 2 Head

The Ukrainian Premier League is the highest division of football in Ukraine. It was created in 1991 as Ukraine declared independence from the Soviet Union. Twelve teams play each other twice in a 22 match regular season to create a league table. The table then splits in half resulting in a Championship round and a Relegation round, each playing ten more fixtures.
