Shakhtar comes into this match in high spirits, leading the UPL table. The Miners recently secured a crucial victory in the Clasico against Dynamo Kyiv 3-1 and had a tough match in the Conference League in midweek. Vorskla, in turn, is a solid mid-table team competing for a European spot. Serhiy Dolhanskyi's side has shown inconsistency but won their last match. The head-to-head record is clearly in favor of Shakhtar, who have won eight of the last ten meetings.

Shakhtar Donetsk
The Miners are in great form and looking to extend their lead at the top of the table. The team has the most potent attack in the league, driven by Danylo Sikan and Lassina Traoré. Despite a tight schedule and possible fatigue after European matches, squad depth allows the coach to rotate without losing quality. Shakhtar is expected to dominate from the start.
Vorskla Poltava
The Poltava side is known for their fighting spirit and ability to rise to big occasions. They will rely on a compact defense and counter-attacks, with Ruslan Stepanyuk as their main attacking threat. Vorskla will try to capitalize on Shakhtar’s potential fatigue and make the game as difficult as possible for the champions.
