Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Shakhtar Donetsk & Dynamo Kyiv face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Super Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
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 Shakhtar and Dynamo Kyiv.
Shakhtar Donetsk form and stats
Last season, Shakhtar's Super Cup journey ended in the final.The story so far in the Premier League for Shakhtar Donetsk at their home stadium (NSK Olimpijs'kyj) is 3 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Shakhtar Donetsk after consecutive victories at their own ground.
The Shakhtar Donetsk goalkeeper Andriy Pyatov is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 194 minutes without conceding a goal in the Premier League.
A good away victory last time out for Shakhtar, who won 5-0 against Mariupol. As indicated by the result mentioned above, Shakhtar Donetsk played a great game against Mariupol and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one.
Prior to that, an away loss at Sheriff in the Champions League.The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Shakhtar have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found three matches with the results: Won one, drawn one and lost one.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Shakhtar as they have a new game in only three days, a Premier League match thankfully also at home. Veres are visiting.
The Shakhtar Donetsk fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 7 goals in 4 league matches. Shakhtar are not conceding a lot of goals here at NSK Olimpijs'kyj in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 3 from 4 matches.
Dynamo Kyiv form and stats
Nothing but glory last season for Dynamo, as they won the Super Cup.The seven points Dynamo Kyiv have gathered from their first three away trips in the Premier League is impressive and could lead to great things if the form continues. In general it has been a productive period now for Dynamo as they haven't lost any of their last 25 games.
Dynamo have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Georgiy Bushchan. It's been 374 minutes since they last conceded in Premier League.
Dynamo Kyiv won their last game, 1-0 versus Oleksandria played at home. Late drama in the previous game, when Viktor Tsygankov scored the winning goal seven minutes into stoppage time to defeat Oleksandria.
Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Benfica in the Champions League.As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found two similar matches played by Dynamo Kyiv in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Dynamo Kyiv, zero draws and zero defeats.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Dynamo manager M. Lucescu as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Rukh Vynnyky.
Dynamo are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 5 times in 3 away games so far. Dynamo are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 2 times in 3 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
