WDWWWW 📈
Dynamo Kyiv go into this game after a 3-0 Premier League win versus Obolon Kyiv in their last game.
For Dynamo Kyiv, the scorers were Andriy Yarmolenko (39'), Vladyslav Vanat (55') and Vitaliy Buialskyi (67').
A run of dependable performances by the Dynamo Kyiv defensive players has resulted in their ‘goals against’ tally standing at 3 from their previous 6 fixtures overall. Over that same period of time, their forwards have scored 13. Nonetheless, we will just have to wait and see whether the trend might be maintained in this upcoming match or not.
Looking at the pre-match facts, Dynamo Kyiv:
- are winless against Shakhtar Donetsk when they've played them away from home in the last 2 matches in the league.
- are undefeated in their previous 12 away league matches. They really have been good on their travels.

🗞️
Team News: Shakhtar Donetsk
There aren’t many personnel worries, with just the lone fitness concern for the Shakhtar Donetsk gaffer Marino Pušić to contend with from an otherwise complete set of players. Andriy Totovytskyi (unknown injury) is out of contention.
🔮
Prediction
In our opinion, Dynamo Kyiv could find themselves struggling to break down this Shakhtar Donetsk lineup who we think should score & stay on top.
We’re therefore seeing a good tussle with a 1-0 victory for Shakhtar Donetsk at the conclusion of the game.
It should be a good one.
