Olimpik Donetsk take on the visitors Oleksandriya at “Valeriy Lobanovskyi Dynamo Stadium” in the matchday 31 of the Ukrainian Pari-Match League. The game will be played in Kiev on Friday, May 26th.
Olimpik Donetsk were not defeated in four consecutive clashes covering two victories vs. Chornomorets Odessa 1:0 and vs. Dynamo Kiev 2:1 alongside with two draws vs. FK Zorya Luhansk 1:1 and vs. Shakhtar Donetsk with same 1:1 scoreline in last round. That successful run allowed Roman Sanzhar’s team to settle at the fourth position in the standings of the Championship Group with 43 points earned and 33-42 goal difference. The side from Donetsk needs to gain just two points in two last gameweeks for promotion to the UEFA Europa League next season as in that case it will finish at the fourth place for sure in season 2016/2017.

In 2017 Oleksandriya demonstrate inconsistent results and weak performance. The no-win streak of Volodymyr Sharan’s team counts for four clashes including three losses: vs. Shakhtar Donetsk 0:1, vs. Dynamo Kiev 0:6 and FK Zorya Luhansk 0:1 plus 1:1 draw against Chornomorets Odessa in last matchday. Oleksandriya have only theoretical chances left for the fourth place in the table of the Championship Group. Nevertheless, they keep fighting on equal with Chornomorets Odessa for the UEFA Europa League next season as both sides have 38 points taken. On the road Volodymyr Sharan’s team show mediocre results recording 12 points earned and 14-27 goal difference in 15 encounters. The away losing streak consists of six clashes with 1:14 aggregated score and has been lasting since the 5th of March.
Olimpik Donetsk and Oleksandriya met three times in this season resulting in 1:1 draw and two triumphs in favour of Oleksandriya with 2:0 and 1:0 scorelines. However, taking into consideration the opponents’ performance in recent encounters, I believe that side from Donetsk will be able to pick up points in Friday battle which will assure its participation in the Eurocups next season.
Prediction for the match: Olimpik Donetsk to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
