Match Preview
Shakhtar Donetsk will host LNZ Cherkasy at Arena L'viv on Saturday, 4th October, in a match that promises to be intriguing given both teams' recent form. Shakhtar, currently struggling with a run of five matches without a win (DWDDD), will be eager to turn their fortunes around against a LNZ side that has shown resilience with a solid five-match unbeaten streak (WWDDD).
One noteworthy angle to consider is Shakhtar's home advantage, where they have historically performed well against LNZ, winning two of their last four encounters at home. However, LNZ's recent form suggests they are not to be underestimated, as they have managed to secure draws against tougher opponents. With both teams having a tendency to score, the possibility of both teams finding the net could be a key factor in this matchup. As Shakhtar seeks to regain their competitive edge, LNZ will look to capitalise on any defensive lapses, making this a potentially thrilling contest.
