Meanwhile, Shakhtar Donetsk have already made a golden double in this season, the side showed sustainable peformance all season long, having entirely deserved those trophies. At the moment “Hirnyky” are taking the lead in the Premier League table with 75 points collected after 31 rounds behind. “Kroty” showed astonishing football in attack which caused 70 scored goals just like its defense which has conceded only 22 goals. Shakhtar Donetsk have broken Mariupol 1:0, Veres Rivne 2:0 and FK Zorya Luhansk 3:0 in the recent away battles.
The rivals have met four times in this season already which ended with two Dynamo Kiev’s victories and a draw while Shakhtar Donetsk have won the Ukrainian Cup. Although both sides have no motivation left for the upcoming clash, they are always set for a fight in these principle derbies. The hosts have a home-field advantage plus they need to back up their dignity in front of their fans, consequently, I believe that they won’t lose with a handsome margin.
Prediction for the match: Dynamo Kiev to win with +1.0 Asian handicap.
