Shakhtar Donetsk host Karpaty at Arena Lviv, Lviv on Saturday, Mar 20 at 5:00 PM in the Premier League.
Shakhtar Donetsk come into this fixture in red-hot form (4W from last 5). Karpaty travel drawing too many games (3D in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
History strongly favours Shakhtar Donetsk here — they've won 8 of 10 previous meetings against Karpaty, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Karpaty won 1–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.8 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: Shakhtar Donetsk look the stronger side on current evidence. Expect them to control proceedings at home, though Karpaty will make it uncomfortable. Shakhtar Donetsk to win.
