Oleksandria haven’t exactly had impressive attacking statistics of late. Their ‘goals for’ figure equals just 3 against opposing sides over their previous six matches.

🗞️ Team News: Oleksandria

Looking at personnel, there is just one fitness concern for the Oleksandria boss Ruslan Rotan to be concerned with thanks to an almost full-strength group of players. Sergiy Buletsa (Muscle injury) is sidelined. Mykola Ogarkov is ineligible for this match because of suspension.

💡 Prediction

Our feeling is that Shakhtar Donetsk look likely to create the chances to score more than once when they play Oleksandria, who won’t find it easy getting on the scoresheet.

We reckon that it will be a pretty comfortable 0-2 victory for Shakhtar Donetsk when the full-time whistle blows.
