Match Preview

There is a colourful recent history between the teams scrutinised in our Shakhtar Donetsk vs Dynamo Kyiv betting tips – although the home side beat their great rivals to the league and cup titles, Kyiv ruined the champions’ title celebration party by turning them over 3-2 in the last game at the Oblasny SportKomplex. Paulo Fonseca’s team have had mixed results in pre-season, though building fitness takes importance over final scorelines.

• Bochum 0-2 Sha. Don.
• Sha. Don. 3-2 OB
• Holstein Keil 0-0 Sha. Don.
• Sporting Charleroi 2-0 Sha. Don.

Having been beaten to the league and cup crowns in May by their Super Cup opponents this weekend, Serhiy Rebrov’s Dynamo will be eager to exact some revenge on their more suc-cessful rivals. Our Shakhtar Donetsk vs Dynamo Kyiv predictions are influenced by the away sides terrific pre-season preparations – they won four of their five fixtures, albeit against some questionable opposition.

• Dyn. K. 1-1 Botosani
• CS U Craiova 0-2 Dyn. K.
• Dyn. K. 3-0 Wacker Innsbruck
• Sparta Prague 1-4 Dyn. K.

Shakhtar Donetsk vs Dynamo Kyiv Prediction and Betting Advice

Neither club has done any major summer transfer business, so they largely have the same squads as last season. With that in mind, the league winners must be made favour-ites in our Shakhtar Donetsk vs Dynamo Kyiv picks. Despite the away side’s 3-2 win at Shakhtar at the season’s end, we have to recognise that the champions were in the cele-bratory mood that day and their focus may have slipped a little. The Super Cup should be a cagey encounter, but I expect to see Dario Sjrna lift another trophy for his beloved Shakhtar Donetsk.
