📰 Team News: Polissya Zhytomyr
Polissya Zhytomyr has not got a full squad to pick from. Oleksandr Nazarenko (Broken foot), Pylyp Budkivskyi (Metatarsal fracture) and Yevgeniy Morozko (Shoulder injury) are those who can’t be considered.
🧠 Prediction
Our assessment is that Shakhtar Donetsk should dominate possession and create several successful chances.
However, Polissya Zhytomyr will be up against it finding the net themselves but do we see them managing to get on the scoresheet.
We’re therefore expecting to see a controlled 3-1 winning margin for Shakhtar Donetsk by the time that the referee blows the final whistle.
