Lucescu against his former club
At the beginning of the season, the teams have already met on the field in the match for the Ukrainian Super Cup. Shakhtar’s first meeting with the former coach ended with a 3: 1 victory for the Romanian specialist.
And in the championship, unlike in previous seasons, the greats of Ukrainian football will play two games, not four. Therefore, the beginning of the first meeting is only growing.
In addition, in the framework of the Ukrainian championship, the teams met 65 times. Each of the teams won 24 times, 17 more fights ended in a draw.

Both Dynamo and Shakhtar lost their Champions League matches this week, but they did so in completely different ways. The Pitmen lost to Borussia Monchengladbach, having suffered the most defeats at home in UEFA European Cup matches: 0: 6. A similar defeat was expected in Kiev’s duel against Barcelona, But the team, playing almost without the entire main team due to injuries and coronavirus, withstood the attacks of the Catalans and even responded – 1: 2.
Forecast
According to the bookmakers, the favorites of the match are the charges of Luis Castro. Bets on Shakhtar’s victory are accepted at odds of 2.05, while Dynamo’s success is estimated at 3.40. You can bet on a tie with a quote of 3.50.
This forecast is explained by the fact that the Dynamo will not be able to put at least half of the main team in the game. By testing positive for COVID-19, the team will not help Buschan, Boyko, Mykolenko, Shaparenko, Tsitaishvili, Duelund, Garmash, Karavaev, Belutse and Supryaga, as well as the injured Burda, Timchik and Kostevich, Besedin’s disqualification has just expired in December.
Shakhtar has been seriously ill with coronavirus before and now has a combat picture. Off the game, only Ismaily and Konoplyanka were injured.
