Shakhtar Donetsk and Kolos Kovalivka have met many times, and this fixture has never been an easy one for the hosts. Although Shakhtar Donetsk dominated play almost every time, there were also matches where they lost at home to Kolos Kovalivka. This time the picture is different in that Shakhtar Donetsk are playing with their highest confidence of the season. Shakhtar Donetsk have won five matches in a row, and in those five matches they scored at least three goals every time. The attack is firing on all cylinders, while Kolos Kovalivka this season have scored 9 and conceded 11 from 7 matches. The defense is not tight but it has not collapsed either, and they just won their latest match in a back-and-forth shootout. If Kolos Kovalivka set up in a low block and do not open up to trade blows from the start, the game will become a siege from the hosts, who must find the final ball first, and that is exactly the moment the visitors are best at playing on the counter.
