Shakhter Donetsk to win their second game of the season

Our first pick backs Shakhtar Donetsk to win their second game of the new season. The visitors bagged a 2-1 victory in the first game against Inhulets Petrove and remain our favourites to win this fixture. Donetsk has been the better side in previous encounters with Lviv, winning seven and drawing once against PFC Lviv in 10 encounters since July 2008. Moreover, the visitors have a better form than Lviv coming to this game. It is also noteworthy that Donetsk won five of the last six meetings with Lviv.

More than two goals at full-time

This fixture will likely have a lot of goals given the form of both teams. Lviv has been woeful defensively despite bagging a 1-1 draw in the first game of the season against Mariupol. The hosts lost three of their last five matches while the other two were draws of 1-1. On the other hand, Donetsk had 2W, 0-0 draw and 2-1 loss in the last five matches. Also, five of the last six meetings had three goals or more.

Goals expected on both ends

We also think there will be goals on both ends of the pitch. Lviv played all their last four games at home and scored at least a goal in all of them. Moreover, the hosts found the net in all their last seven home games, which is why scoring, is this game is likely. On the flipside, Shakhtar Donetsk only failed to score in only one of their last nine games. And because we are backing the visitors to win this game, scoring at least two goals looks good on the books.

Match Preview: PFC Lviv Looking for Back to Back Home Victories over Donetsk

Lviv won their last game, which was at home, against Shakhtar Donetsk. This fixture presents the hosts with another chance of bagging two home victories in a row against Donetsk. Will they do it? Our game preview has more details.

PFC Lviv

Lviv has kicked off the new season with a 1-1 draw, which leaves them eighth on Ukraine's Premier League table. The hosts are privileged to play their first two opening matches at home before travelling to play Vorskla Poltava a week later. For head coach, Anatoli Bessmertniy, getting the most of the first two games, all at home, would be a great way to start the season and keep the team motivated.

Shakhtar Donetsk

Head coach, Roberto de Zerbi, hopes for a second victory in two first games of the season. The first victory came at home where Donetsk had six shots on target and 60% ball possession. The visitors lost the last meeting with Lviv and hope to get things right at the beginning of the new season. In the last meeting, Donetsk lost 3-2 despite having 75% ball possession and seven shots on target. Lviv converted all their three shots in that encounter.
