Premier League
After being eliminated from the Champions League in December, Shakhtar now has to catch up in the championship. They are currently in third place, eight points behind the leader Dynamo, who has played one more game. So catching up is not impossible. Shakhtar started well after the resumption of the championship, winning their first two matches without conceding a goal - 3:0 at home against Oleksandriya and 1:0 again at home against Lviv Coast.
However, Krivbass is not to be underestimated and is fourth in the temporary standings. They finished the first half of the season well, but things don't look good after the resumption of the championship. Krivbass lost their first two matches without scoring a goal, and that was against less challenging opponents. First, they fell 0:3 at home to Veres-Rivne, and then 0:2 in their visit to Inhulets.
Prediction: Shakhtar to win and under 3.5 goals, both teams to score: NOShakhtar is chasing the top spot and cannot afford any mistakes. Furthermore, both teams are heading in completely different directions after the season resumed. Considering this, I believe Shakhtar will achieve victory, which will probably be with under 3.5 goals and it wouldn't be surprising if they keep a clean sheet.
