Predicted Score
1 - 2
This is a top-of-the-table clash in Ukraine, with both LNZ Cherkasy and Shakhtar Donetsk on 50 points. LNZ Cherkasy are in excellent form (4 wins from last 5), but Shakhtar have the league's best attack and are unbeaten away. Both teams boast strong defences, with over 70% clean sheet rates, but Shakhtar's superior attacking numbers and away resilience give them a slight edge. The head-to-head history is dominated by Shakhtar, but Cherkasy did win the reverse fixture 4-1. Expect a tight, competitive match with few goals and a high likelihood of Shakhtar avoiding defeat.
