Vilkhivtsi vs ShakhtarPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

A one-off tie with no table to refer to and no previous meetings between the two sides: that leaves the recent outings. Vilkhivtsi have taken one win, two draws and two defeats from their last five. The latest is the 2-2 away at Dinaz Vyshhorod; before that the 1-0 at home over Chornomorets, further back the 2-2 at Nyva Vinnytsya and, deeper still, the 0-2 at home with Bratslav Vinnytsia and the 2-3, also at home, with Nyva Ternopil II. Shakhtar Donetsk come from three wins, a draw and a defeat. The most recent outing is the 1-1 away at PSV Eindhoven; before that the 2-1 away against Karpaty, further back the 0-2 at home with Polessya and, deeper still, the 1-0 at FC Kharkiv and the 2-0 at Epitsentr Dunayivtsi. Four of those five games were played away from their own ground. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
