On October 29, Dynamo Kyiv and Shakhtar Donetsk will play each other in the 1/8 finals of the Cup of Ukraine. The match will start at 18:00 Kyiv time.
Dynamo Kyiv
The capital club is having a difficult season, the main attention of the team should be directed to the domestic arena, because there are few prospects in the European Cups. Dynamo began the European campaign with the qualification of the Champions League, but are playing in the main round of the Conference League, where they lost two opening matches.
In the championship, the team has not suffered a single defeat, has 5 wins and five draws. Oleksandr Shovkovskyi’s wards unexpectedly confidently won their last match in the UPL against the leader Kryvbas – 4:0. The mentioned success made it possible to break a series of six matches without victories in all tournaments. Andriy Yarmolenko, who is attributed to a conflict with the coach, returned to the field, the football player scored one goal in the last game. The team needs to regain confidence, a victory over the main competitor will be a good boost. In the championship, the Kyivans share the second place, they are only one point behind the leader.
Shakhtar Donetsk
“Miners” cannot boast of stability either, although they hold the lead in the UPL, but are ahead of the nearest pursuer by one point. In the last round, Shakhtar easily handled the debutant Kudrivka – 4:0. The club also plays in the main grid of the Conference League, having scored 3 points in two meetings, there are still chances to show a solid result.
For the head coach Ard Turan, the upcoming match is extremely important, because for him this is the first El Clasico, the mood is of great importance here. The game decline of Shakhtar is explained by the sale of Kevin and Sudakov, although even without the mentioned footballers in the team, there is someone to score and fight for the result.
Personal meetings
The rivals have a rich history of face-to-face confrontations, last season both championship matches ended in a draw – 2:2 and 1:1. Another meeting was in the final of the Cup of Ukraine, here the clubs also did not decide the winner in the game time – 1:1, and in the penalty shootout Shakhtar players were more accurate.
Forecast
Everyone is used to seeing the opposition of the Ukrainian giants in the later stages of the cup, but this time only one will be able to make it to the quarterfinals.
GGBET experts give the following forecast for this meeting: Dynamo win – 2.81, draw – 3.35, Shakhtar win – 2.48. See the GGBET line on the website and find an interesting match. Hold your line!
The Ukrainian El Clasico will be tense and unpredictable as usual, both teams are far from optimal form, but I expect interesting football. The match should take place on opposing courses, I will risk betting on the exchange of scored goals at 1.71.
