Shakhtar Donetsk - Athletic Bilbao preview

The best Ukrainian side, Shakhtar Donetsk, are willing to compete for the top spot in the Group H. Porto are 2 points ahead, so Shakhtar are in a need of a win over Athletic Club.

The hosts, (if we can call them that way as they haven’t been playing at their stadium since the Ukraine war has started), are eager to continue their good run in the Champions League. They are still without a defeat in this competition, this season, and have won two previous games. Their attackers have been amazing, scoring 14 goals in 4 games.

Athletic Club have been in a disastrous form this season. They haven’t been doing well neither in the Champions League, nor in La Liga. They have lost 3 out of 4 Champions League matches. They only draw happened against Shakhtar in the first round, which gives them a bit of confidence.

Shakhtar are massive favorites in this duel. Their players are motivated to win and definitely have the quality for that.
