Shakhtar Donetsk

WWLWWD

In their previous fixture, Shakhtar Donetsk drew 2-2 in the Premier League match with LNZ Cherkasy.

For Shakhtar Donetsk, the goals were scored by Valeriy Bondar (28' Own goal) and Eguinaldo (34').

A run of outstanding performances by the Shakhtar Donetsk defenders has resulted in the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 3 from their previous 6 outings combined. During the same time, their own attack force has managed to score 11. Such a trend isn’t assured to be carried forward into this match, however.

💭 Prediction

We’re of the opinion that Shakhtar Donetsk have the firepower to breach the defence of this AZ team, but that probably shouldn’t be as many as they will have scored against them.

We’re predicting a 2-1 win for AZ at the end of this one. It will be interesting to see how this one goes.
