Dynamo Kyiv will host Shakhtar Donetsk in the 203rd iteration of the Klasychne Derby in Matchday 26 of the Ukrainian Premier League 2025-26 on Sunday. This is the biggest rivalry in Ukrainian football, and it will also shape the top-flight title race.
Shakhtar Donetsk are at the top of the standings with 60 points, with a seven-point cushion over second-placed LNZ. The Miners are in superb form domestically, having lost just one match all season and being on a three-game winning streak. However, they are coming off a 3-1 loss to Crystal Palace in the UEFA Conference League semi-final first leg.
Dynamo Kyiv, meanwhile, are in fourth place with 47 points, just two points behind third-placed Polissya Zhytomyr, who occupy the final Conference League qualifier spot. With five rounds remaining in the league phase, the Blue and Whites need to win their remaining fixtures to have any shot of challenging for the title.
