2nd half: over 1.5 in total
Dynamo Kyiv
Most of the top players have left, and in the current situation, the Kievans count only on those who can stay at the club and, of course, on the young students of the Dynamo school. There is no leader in the team who would control the players on the pitch, hence many chaotic and incomprehensible actions that lead to bad consequences. After Dynamo failed to win the game against Rukh 1-1 in the last matchday, losing valuable points, the chances of Kiev’s title fight remained purely theoretical. With 9 rounds before the end of the tournament, the backlog of the Donetsk club is already 12 points. And although Lucescu’s team is only fourth.
Shakhtar Donetsk
A very important game for Shakhtar. In the event of a loss, the distance with Dnipro-1 will be shortened and the fight for the title will again enter a very hot phase. Despite the Pitmen’s core roster also getting bigger, the game looks more cohesive and of better quality. The downside of Pitmen is that they don’t have many experienced players. Shakhtar has not yet forgotten how long it took them to reach the top, where Dnieper dominated for most of the season, and now the Pitmans know the value of this place and will try to do everything not to lose points at least once again.
Forecast
There are problems on both sides, both in attack and in defence. Dynamo haven’t played football at a high level for a long time, so this time they will try to dry the game, hoping for this one hundred percent moment. Shakhtar doesn’t force anything either. Therefore, everything that is most interesting will happen in the second half of the match, in which, according to the statistics of personal matches, the most goals were scored.
