- The Hirnyky's last 3 games have been a 3-0 away win over Veres Rivne in the Premier League 2026/2027, a 3-1 home win over AEK Athens in the UEFA Champions League - League Phase 2026/2027 and a 2-1 home victory over Kolos Kovalivka in the Premier League 2026/2027.

FC Zorya Luhansk
- FC Zorya Luhansk have won 2, drawn 1 and lost 0 of their 3 away games in all competitions so far this season.

Key Players

Betting Insights
- Shakhtar are the clear favorites here at 1.22 and Zorya are 8.5, so the market is pricing in a pretty big home victory.
- If Shakhtar can pin Zorya back and keep the pressure on, they should have more than enough to dominate this one, and if Zorya can break the press and hit the Hirnyky on the break, then it should be a lot closer.
