Match analysis
A shock 0-2 home loss to Polessya is the blemish on an otherwise tidy home record for Shakhtar Donetsk, who host LNZ Cherkasy on 20 September with Superior's model backing a narrow 1-0, and 1-1 next in line. Both sides score close to a goal a game.
Shakhtar are averaging 1.2 goals a game, LNZ 1.0
Shakhtar Donetsk are scoring 1.2 goals a game on average against LNZ Cherkasy's 1.0, a narrow enough gap that the model settles on a single-goal home win rather than anything more emphatic. Shakhtar have won three of their last five, including a 2-1 away win at Karpaty, but a 0-2 home defeat to Polessya in that same run shows they aren't unbeatable in front of their own supporters this season.
LNZ have held Shakhtar to a 2-2 before
LNZ Cherkasy drew 2-2 with Shakhtar as recently as April, proof that the history between these sides hasn't always followed the heavier scorelines from 2025. LNZ have won two of their own last five, including a 3-1 win over Obolon Kyiv, and if that attacking edge travels here, the 1-1 alternative Superior lists is a more realistic ceiling than a shutout win for Shakhtar.
