Shakhtar Donetsk vs Feyenoord - 09/03/2023
4866
On Thursday night, Shakhtar Donetsk hosts Feyenoord in Warsaw as both teams look to gain a potentially crucial first-leg victory in the last 16 of the Europa League.
The Ukrainian team needed a penalty kick victory to see off Rennes in the knockout round play-offs. The tie's second leg finished 2-1 for the French team in normal and extra time. It is the only game that the Ukrainian team hasn’t won in their last five competitive outings dating back to 2022.
Shakhtar has also been in fine goalscoring form of late, having scored at least two goals in four of their last five matches in all competitions.
Despite their excellent general form, the home side has a poor recent record in the Europa League. They have suffered defeat in three of their last four matches in European football’s secondary competition.
Their recent matches in the competition have been high-scoring, though, with over 2.5 goals scored in their previous four games in the Europa League.
The Dutch visitors are experiencing a stellar campaign, as Feyenoord currently sit on top of the Eredivisie table after an excellent recent run of form.
A weekend 1-0 win over Groningen means that Feyenoord are unbeaten in 17 competitive games, having also recorded four straight victories.
The team from Rotterdam has a poor recent record in the Europa League, though, winning just two of their last nine games in the competition. On the flip side, Feyenoord has only lost one of their previous five matches in the Europa League.
Feyenoord has been woeful travellers of late in the Europa League, as they have failed to win in their previous nine away games in the competition.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts that Shakhtar Donetsk will continue their recent good form by recording a victory over the Dutch team in a high-scoring encounter.
