Leipzig - Shakhtar Donetsk: Form Analysis

Tedesco’s Leipzig looked like they were finding their groove but received a reality test in their latest league game, being torn apart and losing 4-0 to Eintracht Frankfurt. The hosts, who had won their last two games before that with an aggregate score of 8-0, have been really poor at the back this season, having conceded at least two goals in four of their last seven. They are however strong at the Red Bull Arena, where they have won five of their last eight competitive games. It is a peculiar time for Shakhtar. The team had to be basically rebuilt from scratch due to the cruel after-effects of the Russian invasion in the country and the beginning of the Ukrainian league saw them play their first competitive games since last December. In this quest to find match fitness, they have started the league well with two wins and a draw from their first three games, and they have also yet to concede a goal. The step-up in quality is monumental however, and against some of the best teams in the continent, the weakened squad could really struggle.

Leipzig & Shakhtar Donetsk Squad Analysis

Defence is certainly a key issue for Leipzig, yet the decision of highly-rated defender Gvardiol to ignore the Chelsea sirens and stay in Germany will be an important boost for the hosts. The return of Timo Werner will definitely be another one, having already scored a hat trick in his debut Cup game in midweek. The Germans will be without Klostermann, Poulsen and probably Gulasci for this one. The last few months were characterised by transfer upheaval at the Ukrainian club, which saw its team impacted by a special FIFA condition that allowed any foreign player in their club to freely negotiate with any other club. As such, only three non-Ukrainian players are still in Shakhtar at the moment, with the only notable inclusion still at the squad being experienced stalwart Taras Stepanenko.
