Porto, who won their previous game, will hope for a similar result after their 3-1 Primeira Liga win over Casa Pia. In that game, Porto managed 68% possession and 15 attempts on goal, with goals scored by Evanilson, Zé Pedro, and Pepe. Casa Pia had 10 attempts and 2 on target, with Fernando Andrade scoring the goal. Porto’s recent scorelines highlight the importance of their backline, with the number of goals scored in their last six matches standing at 4.

Shakhtar Donetsk, who won 2-0 in the Premier League, will face Veres Rivne in their next match. In their last game, they had 61% possession and 14 attempts at goal, with 8 of them on target. The only goal for Shakhtar Donetsk was scored by Oleksandr Zubkov. Veres Rivne had 8 shots on goal, with 3 on target. Shakhtar Donetsk’s defensive players have conceded 3 goals in their past 6 matches, while their attack has scored 7.

Porto manager Sérgio Conceição will miss João Mário, Wendell, Gabriel Veron, and Iván Marcano due to injuries. Dragões is likely to use a 4-4-2 system and select Diogo Costa, Jorge Sanchez, Pepe, David Carmo, Zaidu Sanusi, Alan Varela, Stephen Eustaquio, Wenderson Galeno, Evanilson, and Mehdi Taremi.

Shakhtar Donetsk manager Marino Pušić has a limited squad due to injuries to Ivan Petryak, Yukhym Konoplya, and Lassina Traoré. Hirnyky may use a 4-1-4-1 lineup, starting Dmytro Riznyk, G. Gocholeishvili, Valeriy Bondar, Mykola Matviyenko, Irakli Azarovi, Artem Bondarenko, Taras Stepanenko, Georgiy Sudakov, Oleksandr Zubkov, Newerton, and Danylo Sikan.
