Shakhtar Faces Chernomorets: A Crucial Match for Both Teams

Shakhtar Donetsk will travel to Odessa to face Chernomorets in the 27th round of the Ukrainian Premier League for the 2024/25 season.

The match is scheduled for Saturday, May 3rd, at the Chernomorets stadium in Odessa, kicking off at 1:00 PM Kyiv time.

You can watch the game on the UPL TV channel, available through most operators and OTT platforms, including Kyivstar TV, Vodafone TV, Setanta Sports, YouTV, VOLIA, Sweet.tv, and more. Additionally, UPL TV is now also available on MEGOGO.

If Shakhtar drops points, their chances of winning the championship will fade away. This will also happen if Dynamo wins against Inhulets in their match. Currently, Shakhtar sits in third place, trailing Dynamo by 10 points and Oleksandriya by 6. In their last match, Shakhtar drew with Dynamo.

Chernomorets, on the other hand, is fighting for survival and is at the bottom of the league table. The club may also lose their chances of staying up if they lose this game while their rivals win.

In that case, the only hope would be to enter the relegation playoff zone, but they currently trail by 5 points, which will be tough to recover in just 4 matches. Last week, Chernomorets lost to Rukh.
