Shakhtar Donetsk will play the second leg of their third qualifying round in the Europa League against Panathinaikos Athens on Thursday. The winner of this tie between Hirnyky and the Greens will move on to the Playoff round to meet Samsunspor. See our match prediction below.
Shakhtar Donetsk would have left the Athens Olympic Stadium the happier of the sides last week when these two teams played to a goalless draw in the first leg.
The Moles would have taken plenty of positives from that match too, having dominated possession (61%), while also recording 10 shots at goal, five of which were on target.
The hosts beat Ilves and Besiktas 6-0 and 6-2 in the previous two rounds in the Europa League, respectively, and are unbeaten across all competitions this season (W4 D3 L0).
Meanwhile, Panathinaikos enter this competition in this round after bowing out of the Champions League qualifiers to Rangers 3-1 on aggregate.
The Greens were eliminated from this competition in this round last season before going on the feature in the Conference League, where they got to the round of 16.
Having failed to beat the Glasgow giants in the UCL and after last week’s stalemate, the Greens are still winless this season and have only won one of their last six competitive matches (W1 D2 L3).
