SHAKHTAR DONETSK

One of the most interesting duels in the final round of the Champions League group stage will be held in Kiev, where the game was moved due to the martial law in Kharkov. The miner will take Lyon, and the Ukrainian club in this duel needs only a victory, but Lyon is completely satisfied with a draw. Donetsk club in a dramatic duel beat Hoffenheim (3: 2), thereby depriving the Germans of the chance to get into the playoffs and give yourself the opportunity. Now Shakhtar has five points in assets, while Lion has seven points. Donetsk club is a team with character and extensive experience in European Cup battles.

 

The composition of the Miner for the match with Lyon should be optimal - Marlos and Tyson recovered from injuries, and only Rakitsky’s participation is under serious question. Paulo Fonseca has at his disposal, though not the most stellar selection of performers, but all the players of Shakhtar are familiar with the taste of European Cup victories.

LYON

In the first match against Shakhtar, Lyon frankly bounced, because the French club looked much worse than the Pitmen in that game. For Lyon, everything was decided by the starting success in the match with Manchester (1: 2), which was the only winning result for the players of Bruno Genesio in the current tournament. The sadness is that before this match Lyon did not lose in any of the meetings within the group stage of the Champions League, but the defeat in the Kiev match can completely negate all the efforts of the team.

 

And the team at the disposal of Bruno Genezio picked up the most upscale, with its bright characters. Depay, M. Dembele, Ndidi, A. Lopes, Fekir, Avar and Traore - these players are close to the top level, and interest from the grandees of European football is growing with crazy progress.

Lyon and Shakhtar conducted this group stage of the Champions League in a bright style, one might say, without regard to defense.

Miner

The Donetsk team is in great shape - in the three extreme matches our today's heroes got two victories with one world. Section points happened in the framework of the Ukrainian championship. In the derby Olympics managed to gnaw through a point. Since we are talking about the Champions League, we need to recall the victory in the last round over Hoffenheim. In that battle, everything was already going to a 2-2 combat match, but in the ninety second minute Tyson sent the "peasants” into the knockout.

Free soccer predictions

That triumph allowed the Donetsk team to claim the second position in the championship league. At the moment, the "moles" five points. The gap from the second place is two points. It is easy to calculate that for a brighter future, the boys need to win. Metalist Stadium in the current European season has never watched the victory of the Fonseca squad - in two games there is a loss and a world one.

 

Lyon

At Olympic now is not the most fruitful part of the season. In the last three matches, our today's heroes never won. And if the world against Manchester City can even be recorded in positive results, then drank points with Lille and losing to Rennu significantly beats the standards of "weavers." Until recently, it was possible not to doubt the quality of the team, but doubts had already entered the soul.

Free soccer tips

In the French pocket seven points scored. You can even wipe the first line, but for this you need to win in the final round of the group stage and hopes to lose to Manchester City in a parallel match. The outcome is unlikely, therefore, "weavers" need to focus on holding a vantage point. Away, the French won once with one defeat.

 

Prediction for this match

On the eve of the new year, it is customary to believe in miracles. So you want to see the Ukrainian team in the playoffs of the most prestigious club tournament. Everything is in the legs of the Donetsk team, it remains only to beat the "weavers". Rennes in the last round of League 1 showed how to do it.

Bet - Miner's victory.

 

On Wednesday evening, an important match of the Champions League group stage will be held in Kharkiv - Shakhtar of Donetsk will meet with Lyon.

 

In October, these teams played a military draw - 2: 2. I wonder what awaits us in the return match?

Free soccer tips

The miner now occupies the third line of the group, but if he wins, he goes to the playoffs of the Champions League. In total, in 5 rounds, the wards of Fonseca produced 5 points - a victory, 2 draws and 2 losses (the total score was 7:15). In fact, the Pitmen show good attacking football, but two devastating defeats from Man City have hit them hard ...

 

Lyon, for the time being, occupies the 2nd line of the group, having gained 7 points during this time. The fact is that in 5 fights, the players of Bruno Genesio managed to win once (1: 2 with Man City on the road) and tied 4 times. "Weavers” slaughter a lot at a party, but they miss enough - the total score for 2 matches was 5: 4. Well, it is worth noting that at the weekend the team at home managed to lose Renn - 0: 2.

 

Bookmakers are completely inclined to the side of the Miner, since it is always easier to play at home. In addition, the Pitmen were supposed to beat the "weavers” in the first match, but something went wrong. However, now it is better to put on performance, because both teams play openly and aggressively ...

Free match prediction for Shakhtar Donetsk - Lyon: "Total is over 2.5". At this outcome, the bookmaker 1hBet offers a coefficient of 1.49.

 

The miner in the sixth round of the Champions League will take the French team Lyon. The Pitmen in this pair are small favorites of the meeting, which is quite logical, based on the tournament layouts. Lyon on Wednesday will be enough and a draw, while the victory will bring the "black and orange" in the playoff championship league.

On the third place

After five rounds played in the Champions League group stage, the Miner is on the third line in the peloton of Group F. The Fonseca squad has 5 points, which is two points less than Lyon. At the same time, the first personal meeting, which was held at the stadium of "weavers", gave a 2-2 draw, and the Pitmen during the match had an advantage over a rival of two goals.

 

Lose Rennu

If the miner in the championship of Ukraine feels confident, then this can not be said about Lyon. In the last two matches in the framework of Ligue 1, Lyon was never able to win, first making a comeback in the match against Lille 2: 2, and after, losing in his field Rennes 0: 2. In the tournament of the French championship, Lyon is on the 4th position, 28 points in the asset of this team. On the road within the Champions League, Lyon has never lost, in Manchester the "lions” won 2: 1 altogether, in Germany they drew 3: 3 with Hoffenheim.

Forecast

The miner in the Champions League regularly, as scoring, and skips, but the same can be said about Lyon. Future rivals in the first match among themselves showed high performance, there is every reason to believe that the upcoming meeting will be rich in goals. Our free game prediction: Both teams will score – yes

 

The central match of the environment in the Champions League will be held in the capital of Ukraine, Kiev, where they will play two contenders for the second line in Group F. In this case, Lyon will arrange and draw, while the Miner needs only to win.

Free soccer tips

After five rounds, the Miners scored five points, which allows them to be in third place in their group. They defeated Manchester City twice (0: 3 and 0: 6) on all counts, missed a sure victory in a meeting with Lyon (2: 2) and scored four points in a duel with Hoffenheim (2: 2 and 3: 2). Thus, the wards Fonseca guaranteed themselves participation in European competitions in the spring of 2019, but it remains to be seen where exactly.

 

Lyon still does not lose in the current draw of the Champions League - one win and four draws contribute to the fact that the Weavers are second. Previously, they unexpectedly coped with Manchester City (2: 2 and 2: 1), staged two assists with Hoffenheim (2: 2 and 3: 3) and one with Shakhtar (2: 2). To exit the group, the French can play one more draw, while failure will send them to the Europa League.

Free soccer tips

Bookmakers believe that the owners have more chances to win in this confrontation. Nevertheless, Shakhtar plays at home and has an incomparably greater experience of playing in European competitions over the past five years.

 

Miner's victory with a handicap (0) at 1.72

Free soccer predictions

The fight in Kiev should determine the fate of the second ticket to the 1/8 finals of the Champions League in the group "F”. Shakhtar only need a win, and Lyon doesn’t have to lose. We offer a forecast for this match.

SHAKHTAR DONETSK

Despite the crushing defeats from Manchester City and failures in other matches, Shakhtar still retained the chances of reaching the next round. The Pitmen were greatly helped by the duel with Hoffenheim in Germany. The victory in the fascinating match with a score of 3: 2 allowed the team of Paulo Fonseca to close the gap with Lion, who drew with the Germans twice. Now, "Shakhtar” will be enough to beat the French in a home match to reach the next round.

Free soccer tips

In this tournament draw, the Pitmen lost to Manchester City (0: 3) and (0: 6) twice, struggled to win the home game against Hoffenheim (2: 2), and managed to catch a draw in Lyon (2: 2), and now the Germans won the away match (3: 2).

 

Yaroslav Rakitsky and Fernando Pedro will not be able to help Shakhtar in this decisive bout. Also in question at this meeting Dentinho.

LYON

"Lion” in this draw played well against Manchester City. The team of Bruno Genesio beat the "citizens” at a party (2: 1), and then achieved a draw with them at home (2: 2). However, in meetings with other teams, the success of "Lion" is ambiguous. Neither Shakhtar, nor Hoffenheim, the aristocrats, failed to beat the houses, having played a draw with both teams (2: 2). On the road, the Germans failed to defeat the Lion, the match ended in combat (3: 3). That's why Lyon, despite success in matches with the main favorite of the group, still may not get into the playoffs.

 

In Ligue 1, Lyon is fourth, and over the weekend, the weavers lost Rennes (0: 2) away. Although this defeat is the only one for the French for the last ten matches.

Free soccer tips

There are losses at Lyon too. This is the club's top scorer in the Champions League Maxwell Corn. Besides him, the participation of Pope Sheikh Diop and Tangaya Ndombele is in doubt.

 

STATISTICS AND PERSONAL MEETINGS

Shakhtar's unbeaten run is equal to five matches.

In the Champions League, Shakhtar won only one of the last six fights.

The miners' houses in the Champions League have five wins in seven previous meetings.

Free soccer tips

"Lion” lost only one of ten past matches.

The unbeaten Lion series in the Champions League has already reached eight matches.

In all the last five matches, the "weavers" in the Champions League played the "total over 2.5" bet.

 

Forecast

Despite the successful results of Lyon in matches against Manchester City, Shakhtar look like a more experienced team before this meeting. From year to year, the Pitmen take part in the Champions League, and last season they reached the 1/8 finals, departing from Roma. In addition, although Shakhtar will play in Kiev, the support of the Donetsk club promises to be excellent.

The final group stage match for Lyon and Shakhtyor. Both teams are fighting for the next stage.

Free soccer tips

The Pitmen are currently in a less favorable position, because they are two points behind today's opponent. All because of two defeats from "Manchester City" with a total score of 0: 9. The victory over Hoffenheim (3: 2) retained the chances for the continuation of the struggle, with Tyson scoring the winning goal in compensated time, and then the Pitmen tried to pull the whistle down. In the domestic championship the club comes with a noticeable margin.

Free soccer predictions

"Aristocrats” do not know defeat in this quartet, although only one out of five duel gave three points. Oddly enough, the only time the French did not share the points was in the first round - 2: 1 with Manchester City. The author of one of the balls and the best scorer of the team in the European Cup Korne injured. On a recent weekend, weavers sacrificed confrontation with Renn (0: 2) for the sake of winning today and entering the next stage.

 

Bright results in this group, since many attacking teams. Ukrainians play nicely this season, although there are problems in defense. Despite the fact that the match is taking place in Kiev, the hosts will not remain without support. Most likely, the Pitmen will run forward from the first minutes.
