Against the undefeated

Oleksandriya are doing great so far and they are in the 2nd place of the table. In their most recent match, they had an away draw 2-2 with Lviv. Although they conceded 2 goals until 21', they stroke back and created some chances, so they tied at 83'. They were even close enough to win, but the ball hit the post just before the end of the game. 

Shakhtar were unstoppable vs Mariupul, with many missed chances until they unlocked their opponent's defence. In the second half, they continued pressing and finally the 2-0 was formed. Fonseca's team are the league leaders and they are favorites for the title for one more year. On Wednesday they welcome Hoffenheim for the 1st round of Champions League group stage. 

Host team are undeniably the favorite. Despite from 2nd place, Oleksandriya have also the best defence in the League and have registered 3 out of 3 home wins with clean sheet. Now they play against Shakhtar who have the best attack. Champions are a talented team and the best one in Ukraine. Home team have more chances to win than the huge odds indicate (10.00+), actually they did it last November.

Alexander the Great won in Gaugamela even if he had the 1/5 of soldiers to do so.
