Shakhtar Donetsk continues to play well in the Champions League after a three-week break. With six points after four matches in the group, they have a chance to catch one of the first two positions and qualify for the knock-out phase. Their last match, a 1:0 victory over Barcelona, marked a significant step towards this goal. The young and promising team played a mature match, securing a valuable victory and a chance to decide its fate in the group.

Antwerp’s Champions League debut was disappointing as they have not won a single point in the group with a 3:14 goal difference. They experienced their last defeat in a 2:0 road match in Porto, where Jurgen Ekkelenkamp’s direct red card made it difficult for them to face their opponent on a more equal footing.

Ivan Petryak, Lassina Traore, and Artem Bondarenko will be unavailable for the upcoming match due to injuries, leaving all other players to coach Marino Pusic.

Davino Velhurst, Anthony Valencia, Jacob Ondrejka, Mandela Keita, and Bjorn Engels are out due to injuries and are not expected to play in upcoming matches.
