📋 Team News: Shakhtar Donetsk

Shakhtar Donetsk boss Marino Pušić has some current player fitness concerns. Dmytro Kryskiv (Muscle injury), Danylo Udod (unknown injury) and Diego Arroyo (Collateral ligament injury) won’t be making appearances.

🧠 Prediction

Our thinking is that Ilves may find it difficult to breach the defence of this Shakhtar Donetsk outfit who we reckon should get the win and a maybe even keep a clean sheet as well.

We’re going for a narrow 0-1 victory for Shakhtar Donetsk after 90 minutes.

Should be an interesting one.
