Ukraine’s champion Donetsk Shakhtar in the sixth round of the UPL will host the last-place team in the standings, FC Lviv.
Shakhtar – Lviv
Saturday October 17 5:00 p.m. NSC Olimpiyskiy, Kiev. Dmitry Bondarenko is the lead referee for the meeting. Broadcast on the Football 2 television channel.
Donetsk Shakhtar faced a very difficult situation. A large number of players and club employees have had coronavirus. Some footballers are still in self-isolation, some, like Andriy Pyatov and Taras Stepanenko, have already passed the negative tests and will soon be ready to start training, but in the match against Lvov they are definitely not helping their team.
Luis Castro, in an interview with the club’s official website, spoke about the difficult situation his team is in now and pointed out that he had already decided the starting line-up for the game against Lvov. On the one hand, the people of Lviv are lucky that Shakhtar does not play against them at their best, on the other, Lviv certainly cannot imagine who will play against them in this fight. We also note that with all due respect to Lviv, Shakhtar’s reserve is at least as good as its future rival. To this we add the extraordinary motivation of those Shakhtar players who do not usually have time on the football field and will definitely try to show their best side to the coaching staff of the first team.
We will not bury Lviv beforehand, although his chances of scoring points in this match are slim. Let’s remember Lvov’s game in Kiev against Dynamo. This was perhaps the best game for the Tsetsadze team this season. If his players can show a game similar to that, then Shakhtar may be in trouble. But Maxim Grisio, who misses the match by disqualification, will definitely not be able to help his team in this.
There is even a victory over Shakhtar in the history of the guests. In the first match between these teams, the Lviv footballers celebrated the victory with a score of 2: 0. It is true that it was in 2008.
