UEFA Champions League action returns on Tuesday (8pm UK) when we host Shakhtar Donetsk.
We’ve had a positive start to the competition this season, drawing 0-0 away to Atalanta and winning 2-0 at home to Paris Saint-Germain.
But, we’re looking to get back to winning ways after the weekend’s 2-0 defeat away to Bournemouth in the Premier League.
CAN SHAKHTAR REPLICATE LEAGUE FORM?
Fourth in the Ukrainian Premier League, Shakhtar have earned 19 points from their opening nine fixtures after Friday’s 1-0 victory away to Kolos. No team has scored more goals than Shakhtar (25) in the division this season.
The same can’t be said for their efforts in Europe, with Marino Pusic’s side sitting 27th in the Champions League table following a 0-0 draw away to Bologna and 3-0 defeat at home to Atalanta.
Heorhiy Sudakov is the team’s top scorer with seven goals so far this season. The midfielder came through the academy at Shakhtar and has played for the Ukraine national team with Oleksandr Zinchenko.
