Comments Shakhtar Donetsk vs Feyenoord: Overcoming adversity

In theory, Shakhtar Donetsk is the team that holds the home advantage, but with the war in Ukraine, they will be forced to play on a neutral field in Poland in the 1/8 round. However, not because the grave world is allowed to look down on the representative of Ukraine.

In fact, in the knock-out play-off round, coach Jovičević's teachers and students soon showed the courage to overcome adversity when defeating Rennes - even though they had to play on a neutral field in the first leg. If you look at it more broadly, Shakhtar Donetsk is a reliable team with 4 wins, 3 draws and only 1 loss in the last 8 matches.

With a healthy squad and more stable performance, Shakhtar Donetsk is confident to win a smooth result against Feyenoord in the first leg of the 1/8 round tonight. In fact, Feyenoord also has a good preparation in form when winning the last 5 matches.

However, the team from the Netherlands is not too hasty and a draw in the first leg is enough for them to be satisfied. Remember, Feyenoord still has the second leg at home and this will be the time when they solve the opponent.
