Shakhtar Analysis: 4th in local league
Shakhtar Donetsk may not be in their usual competitive groove at the moment due to the Ukrainian Premier League’s winter break, which began in early December. They are now in fourth position there after winning 31 points from 15 games, which is a terrible showing for them this season. The most recent encounter, which ended in a 2-0 victory over Veres Rivne, was successful. Regarding the European adventure, the Miners finished third in Group H behind Porto and Barcelona with 9 points from their 6 Champions League games, dropping the decisive game in Portugal 5-3. Tymur Puzankov, Lassina Traore, Marlon Gomes, and Ivan Petryak are all hurt. In the team’s previous 8 home games, Shakhtar Donetsk has gone 7 games without a loss.
Marseille Analysis: Second place of Group B
After losing just 1 game to the Seagulls 1-0 in the penultimate round, Marseille finished the Europa League’s first phase as the second-placed club in Group B, behind Brighton but ahead of Ajax and AEK Athens. Gennaro Gattuso’s team has struggled mightily lately, winning just 1 in their past 5 games in all competitions. They won just 3 points from their 4 Ligue 1 games in 2024 and were knocked from the French Cup by Rennes following a penalty shootout in late January. Marseille’s only loss came at Lyon 1-0; their draws versus Monaco 2-2, Metz 1-1, and Strasbourg 1-1 were also draws. Both Bilbal Nadir and Valentin Rongier, two midfielders, are hurt.
