Match Preview
Shakhtar Donetsk will host Oleksandria at the Arena L'viv this Sunday, with both teams arriving with contrasting forms. Shakhtar, despite a recent run of draws, remains unbeaten in their last five matches, showcasing a resilient defensive structure. In contrast, Oleksandria is struggling, having lost all of their last five encounters, which puts them under significant pressure as they seek to turn their fortunes around. One interesting angle to consider is the historical head-to-head record between the two sides. In their last ten meetings, Shakhtar has won four, while Oleksandria has claimed three victories, indicating a competitive rivalry. Additionally, seven of those encounters have seen both teams score, suggesting that Oleksandria, despite their poor form, could find opportunities against a Shakhtar side that may be vulnerable after a series of draws. With the stakes high for Oleksandria, they will need to capitalise on any defensive lapses from Shakhtar to avoid extending their losing streak.
