Prediction: 1-0
Feyenoord
Shakhtar Donetsk and Feyenoord go head to head at Stadion Wojska Polskiego (Warsaw) in what is expected to be a close Eredivisie encounter. The Miners were more than fortunate to eliminate Rennes in the Europa League last 32, and their display in a 7-0 win over Metalist (7-0) is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of upcoming challenges.
The Rotterdammers, on the other hand, are leading the chase for the Eredivisie trophy, and seeing that they are fully focused on the national championship, home win should be considered. When the two teams met in the Champions League six years ago Shakhtar Donetsk recorded a double win over Feyenoord, which is yet another reason why home triumph should be considered. There are no fresh injury worries in the Ukrainian side, while all Bijlow, Timber, and Walemark should miss out for the Dutch team.
Highlighted Player (Taras Stepanenko):
Taras Stepanenko is a defensive midfielder who plays for Shakhtar Donetsk in the Ukrainian Premier League. Stepanenko was born on 8 August, 1989 and he played for the likes of Torpedo-Kosmos, Arsenal Kharkiv, Torpedo Zaporizhia and Kosmos Zaporizhia during his youth career.
After making 16 appearances (scoring 1 goal) for Metalurh Zaporizhia, he made his senior debut on 4 March, 2007 at the age of 17. Stepanenko played 81 league games for the club between 2007 and 2010 and then he made probably the best decision of his career, joining big-spending club Shakhtar Donetsk. He signed a five-year contract with the Miners on 11 May, 2010 and he has been playing for the Ukrainian giants ever since.
Stepanenko made his 33rd appearance for the Ukrainian national team at the 2016 European Championship finals in France. The Shakhtar Donetsk footballer made his Ukraine debut on 17 November, 2010 in a 2-2 draw with Switzerland. He is capable of playing as both defensive and a central midfielder.

Back in 1908 football club Wilhemina was founded in the pub De Vereeniging and they played their home games in blue-sleeved red shirts and white shorts. The club’s name was changed to Hillesluise in 1909 and soon they became RVV Celeritas.
Finally, in 1912 the club got a name SC Feijenoord. Feyenoord won their first Eredivisie trophy in 1924 and 75 years later they clinched their 14th domestic trophy, finishing the season 15 points clear of second-placed Willem II. De Trots van Zuid play their home games at De Kuip and the capacity of the venue is 51 117.
