Dynamo Kyiv will play a home match with Shakhtar Donetsk on Sunday evening as part of the tenth round of the Ukrainian Premier League. We bring to your attention the forecast for the upcoming battle at the NSC "Olympic".
Dynamo
Dynamo is approaching the Ukrainian "clasico" in the rank of the current champion and leader of the current championship. In the current championship, Kiev lost only two points. But still, the mood of Mircea Lucescu's team is not the best, because less than two weeks ago it lost the match for the Ukrainian Super Cup to Shakhtar (0:3), and last Wednesday it was defeated in an away Champions League match by Bayern Munich (0:5). In the last round of the UPL, Dynamo dealt with RUKH on the road (2:0).
Shakhtar
The Miners did not break down after a painful defeat in the first round of the Champions League group stage from Sheriff (0:2). In the last two rounds of the championship, Shakhtar defeated Mariupol on the road (5:0) and VERES on their own field (4:1). And between these matches there was a victory over Dynamo (3-0), which brought the first trophy of the season. This Tuesday, the team of Roberto de Derbi looked at the home match of the Champions League with Inter (0:0), although they failed to achieve victory.
Statistics and figures
- Dynamo has won only 2 matches out of the last five, having also lost twice;
- In the last eight matches of Dynamo, there was a bet "At least one will not score";
- Dynamo has not conceded in the last ten home matches (8 wins + 2 draws);
- Dynamo has a 26-match unbeaten streak in UPL matches (22 wins + 4 draws);
- Shakhtar have won 5 matches out of the last seven head-to-head with Dynamo, losing only twice;
- Shakhtar has a 4-match winless streak (3 wins + 1 draw);
- In three of the last four matches, Shakhtar have scored at least three goals;
- Shakhtar have lost only 1 match out of the last eight away matches, winning 6 times;
- Shakhtar has a 6-match unbeaten streak in the UPL matches (5 wins + 1 draw).
Forecast
Shakhtar had one more day of rest, and even did not go anywhere this week, so due to the freshness, they should beat Dynamo again, which will allow them to match Kiev in the standings. Of course, the team of Mircea Lucescu has not missed on its field since March, but do not forget that NSC Olimpiyskiy has been the home stadium for Shakhtar for a long time. Surprisingly, there was not a single elimination in the Super Bowl match. In this match, this "misunderstanding" should be corrected in a hot derby.
