Oleksandriya: Form of moment, last results, statistics

Last season was a very good one for a team like Oleksandriya. He managed to qualify for third place, thus ensuring his direct qualification in the Europa League groups. Basically, it was the best ranking in the club’s history, but it is not for the first time in the European Cups. In the last four years he has participated three times. In 2017, it reached the Europa League play-off, where it was eliminated by BATE Borisov (2-3). I can not say that much has changed in the meantime, the players are almost the same, and Volodymyr Sharan is the coach who prepares it since 2013 and with whom he has promoted.

Shakhtar Donetsk: Current form, latest results, statistics

The “miners” did not start the season as they wanted, they were defeated 2-1 by Dynamo Kiev in the first match of the season. Thus, the failure of Supercupa puts Shakhtar on guard, a team that leaves favorite in this match, having a share of 1.30 at the best known online bookmakers in Romania. The team remains with the same lot, no players have changed or bought to make a difference. The only thing that has changed is the coach, Luis Castro. He replaced Paulo Fonseca, a technician next to Donetsk who enjoyed three championships, all cups and one Super Cup.

Oleskandriya vs Shakhtar Donetsk Picks

Luis Castro’s debut on Shakhtar’s bench was not the way he wanted it, losing the first trophy of the season. However, playing in front of a team other than Dynamo Kiev, this difference in value remains. Also, in the last four matches we have always had victories of the miners, who have been forced to the maximum two goals difference.
