View all of the Rukh Lviv v Shakhtar Donetsk predictions, poll and stats below including the latest game odds.
Rukh Lviv won’t want a repeat of their last result here following the 1-0 Premier League losing effort in their last game against Livyi Bereh Kyiv.
Dmytro Shastal (15') was the scorer for Livyi Bereh Kyiv.
In their preceding six fixtures, Vitaliy Ponomaryov's Rukh Lviv have managed to score a total of 6 times resulting in an average number of goals scored per match of 1.
Coming into this fixture, Rukh Lviv are undefeated in their previous 3 home league matches.
Shakhtar Donetsk go into this match following on from a 1-4 Premier League win to beat Inhulets Petrove in their most recent game.
For Shakhtar Donetsk, goals were scored by Artem Bondarenko (2', 90') and Heorhii Sudakov (68', 70').
In a total of 5 out of the previous 6 clashes involving Shakhtar Donetsk, at least three goals have been hit. The average goals scored per match within that spell is 3.5, with the number of goals averaged by Shakhtar Donetsk being 2.17. We will just have to find out if that trend will be continued on into this next match.
An examination of past results between these clubs stretching back to 20/11/2021 reveals that these fixtures have not been good ones for Rukh Lviv. They’ve not been able to register any wins at all while Shakhtar Donetsk have remained in the ascendancy, getting wins in 67 per cent of those ties.
In all, 13 goals were produced between them in this period, with 3 from Rukh Lviv and 10 being from Hirnyky. That’s an average goals per game figure of 2.17.
The last league meeting featuring these clubs was Premier League match day 15 on 01/12/2024 when it finished Shakhtar Donetsk 1-1 Rukh Lviv.
Klayver (Foot surgery), Marko Sapuga (unknown injury), Denys Slyusar (unknown injury), Edson Fernando (unknown injury) and Yuriy Klymchuk (unknown injury) will not be able to play for Rukh Lviv boss Vitaliy Ponomaryov.
Rukh Lviv certainly have the ability to score a goal against this Shakhtar Donetsk outfit, although just one goal possibly won’t be enough to give them the result that they want.
Therefore, we’re predicting both teams to score in a 1-2 winning margin for Shakhtar Donetsk after the 90. Hopefully this is a good one.
