Shakhtar Donetsk - Maccabi Tel Aviv   Prediction, Picks and Tips  


 

With the purpose of sentencing the series of the round of 32 of the Europa League, this Thursday the Ukrainian cast of Shakhtar Donetsk prepares to jump to the NSK Olimpijs’kyj field in Kiev where it will receive the visit of the Israeli cast Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Those led by Portuguese Luis Castro despite not coming in constant activity, since the Ukrainian Premier League was stopped for the winter holidays, they did know how to take advantage of the quality of their squad and they stayed with the first leg with a comfortable 0-2, a result that allows them to have peace of mind for the rematch this Thursday at home.

This good restart of the season was repeated last weekend when they beat Rukh Vynnyky 2-0 in the Ukrainian Premier League, a result that places him in second place in the domestic league, with only one point less than leader Dinamo Kiev .

On the positive side, Shakhtar has not conceded any goals in these first three official games since the restart of his actions and hopes to continue on that path at home where he comes from winning his last three official games, and note that one of them was against him Real Madrid 2-0, in the current edition of the Champions League group stage.

Possible lineup: Anatoliy Trubin; Dodo, Sergiy Kryvtsov, Vitao, Mykola Matvienko; Marlos, Taras Stepanenko, Alan Patrick; Manor Solomon, Junior Moraes, Taison.
 


 
 

 
 
     


Unlike their rival on duty, the Israeli team came in full football activity but they did not know how to take advantage of it and those led by Patrick van Leeuwen lost at home 0-2, so there is no other way than to go to Kiev to at least score two goals to extend the series, of course without conceding a goal.

Last weekend they won by the minimum in their visit to Hapoel Be'er Sheva for the eighth round of the State Cup, and it is expected that this result will give them the necessary impetus to carry out their commitment on Thursday, although it must be said , that Maccabi Tel Aviv's away performance in the Europa League is not very efficient to say, to the point that they add just one victory in their last eight away games for said competition, losing in three of their last five games and this does not generate much confidence to go for them in this commitment against a Shakhtar Donestsk who knows how to take advantage of the spaces in rival defense.

Possible alignment: Daniel Peretz; Andre Geraldes, Luis Hernandez, Eitan Tibi, Enric Saborit; Dan Glazer, Dor Peretz; Matan Hozez, Avi Rikan, Tal Ben Haim; Aleksandar Pesic.
